Sharing blades is spreading diseases like HIV, Hepatitis.Best is to locate the persons who have used the blade and get them tested for hepatitis A/B/HIV which is not possible in your case.Now Get yourself tested for hepatitis A/C/HIV. Do hepatitis B antibody titre if you have been vaccinated for hepatitis B. If not get yourself vaccinated against hep B if you are negative.
