Can sharing trimmers cause HIV? - Dr Rajdeep Mysore | Doctors' Circle

HIV infection, we must understand that it can be spread through the blood or other bodily fluid. The other bodily fluids include the semen, the vaginal fluid or the saliva. The chance of spreading HIV through blood transfusion, that is if a person who has HIV donates his blood to somebody else, the chance of the other person getting HIV is 90%. That is the highest risk. In intercourse the risk varies from 2% to 0.3%. So it is higher in male homosexuals. Coming to whether a sharing a trimmer can cause, it is a very negligible chance f the person who has HIV cuts himself and the blood falls on the trimmer and the other person who takes the trimmer and also cuts himself and that blood mixes. That time there is less than 1 in 333 chance, that is less than 0.3% chance in getting an infection. So there is a very unlikely scenario where a person who has cut himself will not wash the trimmer in the first place and using the same blood stained trimmer by other person it is even more unlikely. So the risk of transmitting HIV through trimmer s is very unlikely.

What about barbershops? They use the same hair and beard trimmers for all the customers

I bought a new condom, and slide over my fingers I had a cut on my finger and the condom was pre lubricated but later I found that the condom is not original it is counterfeit (fake), the lubricant came in contact with my cut on finger, can it have any hiv viruses or any other STDs?
I am worried about hiv and other STDs as the condom was fake and is there a possibility that the fake company uses lubricants with viruses present?

It's also important to know is that whereas scientists have found blood on razor blades to pose a risk for hepatitis transmission, it has never been an issue in relation to HIV. For hepatitis C, there have been cases where people living in the same household have shared razor blades and have passed on hepatitis in this way. This has never happened with HIV.
