A member asked:

I had a straight blade shave at the barbershop. i had bleeding spots on chin and bloody razor burns. have i been exposed to hiv or some disease?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

It depends: If the blade was new and never used on anyone else, you should be fine. If the blade was used on anyone else, then you might have been exposed to something. A doctor could check your blood for infection if you are worried.
