Sir can HIV spread through used razor blades? Cause once in a saloon the barber used a blade which was not new. And once a trimmer cut my skin. So sir please tell me whether I am at risk or not?

You are not at risk of HIV. Buy you can get other STDs and skin diseases from barbers. Take HBV vaccines if you have not taken. Contact me if you get warts, ulcers etc in scalp and face area. May decide to take a private consult with audio video chat.
