Yes HIV can be transmitted via blades from knives and razors.

This is wrong and you should not worry people without the facts!

I am a real hypochondriac and HIV has worried me for years (since a situation which I thought was a risk but was not, yet it took me a long time to get over the initial shock). I am just beginning to deal with my anxiety over HIV transmission. I work as a nurse and there have been a few times I have been concerned with this, coming into contact with blood, but after educating myself more on HIV I now know it is hard to transmit and very, very rare that someone can become infected in this way (using a razor). HIV ony survives outside the body for a matter of minutes and the high risks are sexual intercourse, sharing needles and direct blood-to-blood contact! Yes it is always good to test to make certain (and to curb anyone's anxiety over this) but people should stop answering questions that they aren't sure of. It causes misery to those that have a problem and are already highly worried.
