A member asked:

I accidentally used my sister's razor few times. what infections are spread by using someone's razors? i have cin1. is there a risk it is transmitted on the razor?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Some basics: The cin1 you may have would not be from a germ the razor could pick up & pass. Such germs as hepatitis B might be passed if the blade were bloody with infectious materials but not the germs of HPV that only inhabit the genitals & are passed through sexual contact.
