HIV risk from threading. I am female in Delhi. Went to get threading done in a parlor where a female got threading done prior to me. Just within 1 min. Threading causes bleeding face. I guess she didn't change thread between us two and the thread was sharp. Risk of HIV? BECAUSE I read one female got hiv like this in parlor because the instrument were same used.

Risk of hiv is always there if same instruments are use but you do not know weather the lady served before was havin contageous disease or not. So do not pressurize your brain but yes be careful further.

No, you can not get HIV through threading or threads. However, you are at some risk for HBv, warts, HSV, Syphilis. Take HBV vaccines if not taken. It's inexpensive. If can afford take HPV vaccine. It is very expensive. Take private consult with audio video chat and then I can guide you properly. If coming to Mumbai take personal consultation.
