HIV TRANSMISSION THROUGH HAIR TRIMMER
Can HIV be transmitted through hair trimmer ?
I went to a barber's shop for haircut and beard trimming and he used the same trimmer which he had used on the other person approximately 45 minutes back. He didn't clean the clippers of the trimmer and it cut my skin because of which blood came out. 45 minutes back the same trimmer made a paper cut the face of the other person because if which his blood came out and stained the trimmer.
My question to you is if that person is suffering from HIV, can HIV be transmitted to me through this trimmer ? What your take on HBV and HCV as well ? Can they be transmitted within 45 minutes ?
Am I at risk of HIV, HBV and HCV ?
