Accidentally nicked a finger on a razor that was in my friend's purse. as there was no visible blood, it seemed like a surface cut. i do not know my friends hiv status so what are the chances of acquiring hiv from such an exposure if she's positive?

HIV cannot be transmitted through above mentioned mechanism unless fresh contaminated blood on the edge, the virus does not live on inanimate surfaces or in the air. There is still a risk for transmission for other germs and the wound should be watched closely until healed.
