I am an 26 years old male and yesterday while having a haircut the barber accidentally cut (very small) on my neck. Although the blade was new but the barber had (as it looks like) a red spot on his plan which may be cut. In this scenario if I assume the barber was infected and touched the blade before cutting me, is there any chance of me getting hiv infected?
