Nobody in the world ever caught HIV from injury by a barber or with any other personal cosmetic service. Fever or other HIV symptoms cannot start sooner than a week after exposure; your daughter's fever has nothing to do with the barber visit and certainly is not due to HIV. Please try not to worry about it.
