Yes. If the hiv infected preson cut self and there is blood on it, and you use and have a small cut (sometimes too small to see). Do not share any sharp cutting objects like this or razor blades which may have blodd of infected person on the. Sometimes you will not be able to see the blood on it, but it could be there.

it will if you make a wound or an opening to the body.

The virus is very unstable and dies quite quickly if not protected in some sort of medium. so there may be a chance if you are sharing a blade that cuts both users simultaneously.

HIV can survive in dry blood and mucous ( nasal discharge) upto 48 hours.

HIV is also present in sweat and saliva of a person and will cause infection if it gets into blood. Though medical research shows that percentage virus in saliva and sweat is low to cause infection, there are 15 percent of the cases whose cause if unknown. So the answer would be YES.

Indefinitely no. It will die after some time.

But if a drop of fresh HIV blood did fall on hair clippers they would be tainted and should not be used.

You rarely see blood on clipper anyways and seeing it should be a clear sign to not go to that salon or barber shop.

In general most barber shops keep their clippers in antibacterial/viral solutions, just in case.

You can't get HIV from a hair comb. HIV is spread through certain body fluids.

Can warts on the finger transfer hiv to another person who has a cut on there finger?

HIV is transferred through bodily fluids such as blood or semen, so no a wart would not transfer HIV regardless if the person has a cut or not. If a person has a cut on their finger and the HIV infected person is bleeding and it gets into the cut, there is a chance of infection but it is a much lower risk than unprotected sex.
