A member asked:
What are chances of getting hepatitis at a barber shop when you get a skin cut , the scissor was sterilised however other instruments like the hair brush and all were not ( they could have traces of blood as well ) ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
If the instrument making the cut was sterile- then little to no chance as the virus would not linger on a brush
