General Doubt
I went for a facial in the saloon, there they use plucker for blackheads removal, I was having some pimples on my forehead, now I am in doubt that there might be a chance of infection, though saloon was very hygienic and advanced and they use uv stabilizer they told. But I am still in doubt of infection like HIV or others. May I take PEP in doubt. Or is it normal with no chance of infection for anything?

Usually by plucker it doesn’t get transferred.
HIV is only transmitted by bodily secretions.
So you have nothing to worry about.
Relax and go for next facial appointment.

If there was no injury, means no abrasion or bleed then you should not panic. Be calm. Just relax. You can go and check. If in doubt, get the test done after 3 months.

As such, if good hygiene has been maintained and no abrasion exists,there is no risk. If in doubt, apply any antiseptic cream regularly for 4 to 5 days

HIV does not survive well outside the human body. It becomes inactive quickly when exposed to air.
You don't need PEP for this.
