I am 17 year old, i visited a barber shop some months ago, were i got a cut, barber used a alum on a my cut........but it was the same alum that he uses for every customer. The interval between me and his previous customer was atleast more than 5 min. After 10 days i travelled to a new place where i got fever and cough then i visited a doctor who told me that it is beacuse the cough and throat infection my fever is comming back after taking medicine for my throat i become healthy again in just 2 days. These all drama was for a week. Is there any chance of HIV transmission through alum?...........at that time other member of my family also got fever but not for more than 2-3 days.........is this all beacuse the travelling we did from a cold place to a semi-deserted city were temprature was more than 40 degree 'c ? Also i vomited too but just 1 time......
