HIV causes AIDS: You are very unlikely to contract the infection by sharing a razor. The virus is wimpy and survives very poorly on surfaces, especially if drying has occurred.

HIV is Hard To Get: Hiv is not contracted this way. But, hepatitis c can be. These two, potentially deadly viruses, have different transmission stories. If you have not been tested for hepatitis c, i would advise you become aware of this common infection. I would also advise, given your concern, that you get acquainted with HIV infection and how to protect yourself as well.
