Hello- Shaving with a razor is considered **Negligible Risk ** which means that while we can make a case for HIV transmission, there has never been a single reported case. HIV could not have been spread through the razor or the blade because HIV is not transmitted by inanimate objects.

HIV can spread through shaving blades. If the blade is clean and there is no blood over blade edges then don't worry about it.
