HIV or hepatitis from shaving
Hi. I got my head shaved at a temple yesterday. Even though blade is nee, they are using some chalk like thing to rub on injuries. They rubbed it on my cut before I could react. They are using the same thing on everyone. I am worried it could give HIV, hepatitis or any blood borne diseases. What are the chances and what tests should I get done.
