Hiv from saloon ?
Hello doctor
Is there any possibility of hiv virus transmitting from unsterilized scissor or razor ?
I am very worried because I had a small cut from a scissor and razor while having haircut .
But the cut happened at the end of the haircut , till then good 15 -20 minutes of hair cutting was done by these instruments. Because I heard that hiv virus can not survive outside human body more than 1 minute .
Thank you.
