A member asked:
Is there a way of getting infected by hiv by eyebrow waxing/tweezing? i was the first customer that morning, so everything used was fresh , and no blood or skin breakage. but i ruminate about it. can a virus even survive in wax or object over night?

Sounds ok: If the customer (the waxee) starts bleeding, the waxer can worry about catching some disease from the customer's blood... but not the other way around, because the waxer is not the person who would be bleeding. The instruments should be properly cleaned after each customer, and thus not transmit diseases.
