A doctor has provided 1 answer
HIV is transmitted by a mixing of bodily fluids. Unless the barber had a fresh cut on her hands, there would be no mixing of bodily fluids. Your cut being over 10 hours old would mean there would be no fresh blood there either. However, ask your doctor for an HIV test now to get a baseline and then repeat it in a couple of months. But, what you describe does not put you at risk. Good luck!
