Hi, almost nil chance of hiv spreading by that way what you are saying. not a single case noted till date with hiv spread due to barbers blade.so dont worry. huv can spread by sexual contact, blood to blood contact or from maternal to child. Moreover hiv virus cannot survive very long time outside the body environment. so be relaxed. dont worry.

Hi dont worry hiv is not spread by that way.hiv is spread by sexual contact, blood to blood contact or from maternal to child. you have blood contact its indirect and hiv virus can not survive out side the body environment for long time. No case is noted till date with hiv spread by Barber s blade. So dont worry just be relaxed. Thanks for using health care magic.
