Hello doctor, yesterday I went to barber shop and got my hair cut done, after he used a razor to clean hair back of my neck, then I got some small multiple razor cuts or burns. .although the cut didn't bleed, it is very small like about half a millimeter or so or even less (burning and red. I have a doubt that the blade in the razor was not changed. If it is used for previous person (if he was hiv positive )and then to me is there a chance of getting hiv transmission? I can't able to sleep well because of this, this doubt is eating my peace of mind. Should I get tested for hiv infection? Please help me.
