Can I get HIV if I use someone else razor?
-
Hello, can anyone help me with this? I am very scared? Can you get HIV if you share the same razor with someone related even if that person does not have HIV??? I think I might have used my brother's razor today. I read one should never share razors with anyone as they can cause HIV? Will I get HIV? I am 18 years old male. Please help!!! I am scared!!

@nowelle Hello,
You cannot be infected unless you come in contact with the blood or deep body fluids of someone who is infected with HIV. Blood itself does not contain the virus naturally. Hepatitis is also spread through blood so it is best to avoid sharing razors or toothbrushes with anyone who is infected or who may be without you being aware of it. Please see your personal health care provider for further evaluation. Thanks!!
