One day before I have been to a barber shop which used a new for shaving me. While shaving I got a cut which was bleeding slightly, now I am afraid if barber was bleeding from his finger can I get hiv. Should I go for PEP. Does pep have any side effects on future sex life. Does it affect fertility.

Dear user. I can understand. The risk of HIV transmission is absolutely negligible from a razor cut at barber shop, as the virus is not able to sustain outside the blood product, and therefore the chances of transmission are very very negligible. Therefore please do not carry the thoughts with you and be anxious. Take care.
