Hiv from barbershop ?
Hello doctor
I got a haircut from a barber and accidently I got a small cut from the scissor.
I forgot to sanitize the scissor beforehand but I know that the scissor was dry and was kept idle for 30 minutes before cutting my hair.
Also the cut I got was at the end of the haircut , till the the same scissor was used to cut my long hairs.
I am also attaching the cut picture.
But now I am very worried that can HIV be transmitted through this way , am I at risk .
Do I need to take HIV tests ?
