Technically yes. Feasibly, no. HIV (Human Immunodeficiency Virus) is the virus that causes an individual to develop AIDS (Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome.)
HIV is unable to survive outside the body. When HIV is exposed to air, it dies shortly after. In order for someone to be at-risk for HIV infection, the razor would have to be shared immediately after use and have infected, fresh blood that comes in contact with a fresh, open cut. This is still extremely unlikely to transmit infection.
There are other pathogens to be concerned with if sharing needles or razors. Hepatitis is over 100 times more contagious than HIV. Hepatitis is able to survive outside the body for up to two weeks on dried blood. Sharing personal items often carries a risk of infection for a variety of different things. To ensure your personal health and safety, consider purchasing your own equipment in the future.
