A member asked:
What are the chances of getting hiv from accidentally being cut by a razor that had not been used for at least a few hours. the cut did not bleed that i saw and i dont know her hiv status. but she says she's negative but i don't know her that well?

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.
