Hello- The oxygen in the air immediately breaks down HIV upon contact. HIV is an extremely weak virus that cannot survive outside of the human body. HIV cannot be carried or transmitted through an electric trimmer since this surface is completely exposed to the air. In addition, small cuts cannot transmit HIV. Once your skin becomes cut, your body starts to form a natural barrier of defense against any pathogens or viruses that could potentially enter the body. As stated, HIV is an extremely weak virus and cannot be transmitted through such a barrier. It needs direct access to the bloodstream, e.g. Directly into the vagina, anus, urethra of the penis, or extremely deep, gaping, and freshly bleeding wounds.
