Hello
I went through your history. The chances for needle stick injury is only 0.03 percent. The chances for baraber s knife also must be the same. It is very negligible. If the shop maintains basic hygeine you need not worry. If you are very apprehensive you may undergo tests for early detection likr rt pcr but I personally think it is not needed. If you want even after 3 months you can get an elisa test done. It is all to remove the fear complex only
Hope you are clear
Have a nice day

sir but the barber shops they don't clean their equipments ever
Hello
I do understand your apprehension. But how do we know that the knife or scissors which was on another customer had hiv infection. As long as we don't indulge in vad sexual practices we are generally safe.
Have a good peaceful day

Hello
I must confess that I have not come across such incident in my thirty years of service. That is why I said not to worry. The early symptoms range from fever to bodyache which could occur in three months of infection. As you are very apprehensive I suggested an rtpcr lab test for you.
I assure you that the chances are meagre and you need not worry. I hope that you are convinced and will have a normal and peaceful life ahead
Wishing you a peaceful day
