How Is HIV Transmitted?

I know this question has been asked before. But I really need to know whether a very shiny razor cartridge can harbor HIV virus and, therefore, be considered unsafe for use. I recently purchased a razor cartridge sold loose by my neighborhood retailer who is trustworthy in his business dealings.
