If blood or any internal body fluid of a HIV infected person is entered into the other person's body then only the chance of getting HIV will be there ... If You got cut with the a razor, there is a chance of getting HIV only if the razor contains the HIV infected blood.. So don't get panic, try to remember whether Razor used was with new blade or a disposable...?? Do HIV screening after 28days of the incident... contact for further assistance
