Chances of getting infected by STDs

Today, in salon while getting shaved, i got cuts. So at the end, he used alum stone in my face. He had only one stone and he is using the same on everybody. I am afraid will i get infected? Should i get tested for any?

Dear Practo User. Thanks for sending across your query. Using a shared alum stone can carry a small risk of infection, especially if there are open cuts. While the risk of serious infections like hepatitis or HIV is very low, it's best to monitor for signs of infection. If you're concerned, a basic blood test offers peace of mind
