I saw a post where someone asked if HIV can be transmitted at a barber. Seeing as HIV is a blood ailment, and barbers only usually cut hair, the answer, usually, is no. Strange that this would even be a question. I know the person who posed it was concerned about being accidentally nicked by a razor, but BARBER razors are specially designed, w/safety guards & such, furthermore, they are thoroughly sterilized after each use. At least if you're going to any kind of respectable barber. As a P.S. In all my years of going to a barber, I've never been cut.

Cuts are not common with a professional and good barber but yet the probability and possibilities of getting one can not be zero.

I agree. You can't be scared of EVERYTHING! I'd be more afraid of catching COVID-19.

Yes. That is something to be mindful of for sure.
