not sure if this is the right board, BUT...
Today I got a haircut around where I work because the one I got a few days ago made me look like Jim Carey from dumb and dumber. People at work were ripping on me so as soon as I could leave for the day I went straight to a barber shop. Problem was, it's a poor neighborhood, corner barbershop, you can picture it. The old man did what i asked him to, and buzzed my hair down to a 0, basically just take the electric trimmers and take all the hair off.
Thing is, he absolutely grinded that thing into my skull, and now there's all kinds of red "razor" bumps and some actual nicks from the electric trimmer. I'm worried about hep c, HIV, and other blood borne illnesses that i might pick up as a result of under sterilized or not sterilized equipment. I'm going to schedule a blood test with my doctor, but i probably won't get my blood drawn for another one to two weeks. Is that too soon for anything to show up on a test? Can anyone assuage my fears of catching something virally infectious?

Even if it wasn't sterilized any HIV would be long dead. It doesn't survive in amounts that are dangerous outside of a living host.

Sorry forgot to say that it doesn't survive for long outside of a host. probably about a week under ideal conditions.

do barbers sterilize the electric clippers?
>>
>>18393689
I think hep C is the primary concern since the virus can survive outside of a host. You're probably good but you could call your doctor and get a course of PrEP if you're that worried about it.
>>18393773
they're sposed to

>>18393879
is PrEP for hep C? i thought it was just for HIV?
