can you get HIV from a razor?!


Question: Can you get HIV from a razor?
Had brazilian IPL done today and the beautician shaved some of the areas I missed - very intimate, tender areas! I didn't get cut (I don't think) - but I wonder how worried I should be about Hep C or HIV being transmitted to me if the razor wasn't new and if the previous person she used it on was HIV or Hep C +ve?

Answers:

It is possible to get infected, but only if it cut the other person, and then it cut you. If it only cut one of the persons or none of the persons it is not possible; blood must be involved. Also, professionals should use disposable razors, or change the razor blade for every person.



Yeah..but not really likely...but ewww why did you let her use a old razor...you should have told her you want to make sure she uses a new one!
