Can HIV Be Transmitted Through Sharing A Razor?
Question: can hiv be contracted through barbers razor
Brief Answer:
The possibility is very unlikely.
Detailed Answer:
Dear XXXX,
Welcome to HCM.
The transmission of HIV through barbours razor is only possible if it contains fresh blood of positive person but in this case also the possibility is very unlikely because HIV virus can not survive outside the human body or in an open environment and it will die within few seconds only so don't worry. For any further query get back to me again any time.
Thank You

Thanks Doctor XXXXXXX for the answer.
Actually the whole situation was such that the barber told me that the customer before me had not asked to use the razor, therefore he was using the razor as it was a fresh one.
I do not know he was telling the truth, but why i am getting so worried about it?
Though after reading your answer i got satisfied.
No need to worry na?
