A member asked:

I recently bought an electric shaver and cut my self with it while shaving then i realised it maybe used. am i going to get hiv?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

No, very unlikely: No, it is very unlikely. Even if it was used by someone else who had hiv, it would be unlikely given that if there was blood, it was dry. Theoretically, when HIV is exposed to air, it is killed. No worries.
