last night i had to attend a wedding,and i was at my cousin's place,he has multiple female partners, i forgot to bring my razor,so he was shaving his mouth,and out of the blue,i was so stupid that i asked him to give me the shaving machine aswell so that i can trim a little patch on my face... and i got a small cut and their was fresh blood... this happened immediately like within a few seconds,im not sure if even 9.10 seconds apart from my cousin using it before me... now i am extremely tense that can i be infected with any stds....?

some bacterial skin infections can be treated with topical antibiotics, others need oral antibiotics - your  provider will be able to decide which you need should you develop any rashes.

Hello

You are worrying way too much from this.   Nothing is going to develop.  
Yes, forget about HIV for this exposure.  

Points to your cousin for being a pimp.   ;)

I wouldn't even remotely worry about std's from this.  

should you develop any skin rashes, be seen.

usually it's bacterial skin infections, not std's that are an issue.  

make sure your cousin cleaned it properly after you used it since you cut yourself with it.
