Allay fear of HIV, Please provide photo of bump

Detailed Answer:
Hello,

I understand your concern. I am Dr. Arun Tank & I am infectious disease specialist. I am going to answer your concern.

- Please provide clear photo of the bump to help you out further.

- There is no possibility of HIV. Firstly because you are not associated with any of the initial HIV symptoms like fever or flu like symptoms. Secondly the barbers blade you had described is remained as such for 10 minutes approximately; HIV can't remain outside the body for more than 10 minutes.

If you have anything else to ask I will be very happy to answer that. We wish you a best health at healthcare magic.

Thank you,
Dr. Arun Tank
