Is Hiv Infection Possible If Shaving Blade Is Kept In Same Solution?
5 days i went to a barbar shop to have shaving. he used another razor than he kept the blade in a diluted solution may be a dettol or phenyl solution but he again took the blade amd shaved a little hair left, i remember i didnt got any cut. it should be noted that after completion of previous customer shave he kept his blade in the same solution. eventhough he used new blade for my shaving but i m concerned. can i be infected with hiv virus. plz rply soon.

HI
Thanks for posting your query.
No there is no chance that you can get infected . He has used a new blade but kept it in the same solution right , the virus will not stay alive in the antiseptic solution so there is no way that the solution is contaminated and in turn you getting infected.
So just relax .
Regards.
