Chances of getting HIV is less likely unless you have a cut and previous man also might have a cut( he might be HIV positive)

Its not that simple to contract hiv mate. Hiv is a very weak virus and cannot stand even minor adverse conditions. For HIV to come in your body the barber needs to work on some infected patient first. And that infected patient's blood should be on the instrument he used on you and that blood should contain threshold of virus required to produce significant impact. If these things are not there its highly unlikely that you'll get HIV. however you may get fungus infection
