Common Questions and Answers about Safety razor information

safety

Avatar f tn For transmission, plenty of infectious fluid is needed to be exchanged inside the body, for which, a safety razor does not qualify. However, for personal hygiene, and to prevent other contageous infections, it is always better to avoid anybody else's kits. You may use a different brand having different color to eliminate the risk of picking up the wrong razor inadvertently.
Avatar f tn Can I get infected at barborshop with used razor blades? If someone before to me have hiv. My English is poor.. Plz reply to me sir. Thanks And what's the way for hiv transmission?
Avatar m tn I know that if a person gets cut with a razor blade and then another person gets cut on the same blade there is no risk for hiv and almost no risk for hcv or hbv. But I 've read of some people claming to get infected by sharing the needle for a tatoo...I mean, is it even possibile?Is not the blood quantity on a needle too little?How is different from getting cut with a razor blade? What cases can be considered at risk for the infection from a blood borne desease?
Avatar m tn something that looks like someone poked him with a needle so it not the typical cut a razor blade would cause but a poke kind of. anyway, had the wife clean his lip really well and with alcohol etc.... common sense says he is fine as it wasnt something major . also i do clean my razor pretty ok after shaving but a worry is a worry and i cant help it. called his pediatritionist clinic today and asked i can come in to make sure his antibodies are good from back when he completed the vaccine..
Avatar n tn m just being my usual paranoid self but this is really eating me up alive. I had forgotten my shaving razor when I stayed at a hotel over 3 weekends ago. The hotel staff brought over a disposable one upon my request. Although not packaged (or sealed), the razor appeared to be new and I went ahead used it. I cut very easily when shaving and there was definitely blood from me in this instance.
Avatar f tn You are most likely having an allergic reaction to whatever shaving cream or lotion you are applying to your legs, assuming you are using a safety razor. It is also possible that you do have extra-sensitive skin and the skin response is to mechanical irritation from the shaving device you are using. You might want to switch to a “non-allergenic” shaving cream/lotion product. On the mechanical side be sure to avoid using any razor that is not ultra-sharp.
Avatar m tn Hi-I used a (used) safety razor at a golf course and cut myself. 10 Days later I had throbbing voluntary muscles throughout my body and a sinus issues. The sinus issue cleard up in two weeks, but the throbbing eased into a dull ache-particularly in my right biceps that I've had for 6 months, I was tested thoroughly for HVC (multiple antibody, PCR Qual) and HVB. All negative. My hepatologist has referred me to a neurologist saying the razor was just a coincidence.

Avatar m tn Hi, I've been reading a lot online but cannot find anything closely related to the problem I'm experience.. I'm really hoping someone can help me figure out what's going on. Almost every time after I have (unprotected) sex with my girfriend, I get small red bumps (~20-30) on my penis--mostly along the front and sides and lower foreskin-- as well as sometimes a few near my stomach and pubic hair. This has happened maybe 10 times.
Avatar m tn one quick question if i used someone else razor and he is hiv + is there any risk ?
Avatar f tn Turns out it was razor bumps but since i was picking at them n tryin to pop them i got them infected so they gave me some antibiotic but i did get some blood drawn for safety reasons n will know the results on those by next week
Avatar n tn we are a little concerned about hygeine and safety where oral sex is concerned. we are both very hygenically conciousd people and keep very clean...and sanitary conditions both physically and orally. is it safe to lick each other out? is there anything wrong with or hygenically or health wise unsafe about swallowing vaginal lubrication? what r the overall risks of licking each other out? anxiously waiting for a response.
Avatar m tn A razor blade, not an electric razor within an hour prior? Yes, that ought to greatly up the risk from oral as a safety blade may have made one or more minute nicks in your skin (not enough to hurt or visibly bleed, but, leaving enough wounding for infected saliva to breach the skin barrier). Eight weeks does sound long enough though (especially if that's the recommended period).

Avatar f tn Please help me relieve myself. Yesterday I was at the barber shop to have a haircut. I have a pimple and the barber shaving my hair and accidentally hit my pimple. But my pimple did not bleed but I feel pain whenever I touch it. The razor wasn't sterilized and it was used to the person before me. What if the person before had a cut and the razor was used also that hit my pimple? Should I be worried? Please make me understand the chances.
Avatar n tn I would encourage you to do your homework and talk to as many people as possible. Read as much clinical research on the safety and effectiveness as you can get. If a doctor says you are a candidate, ask them what research exists that says you are. If a doctor says you are not a candidate, ask them what research exists that says why not. Hopefully this helps.

Avatar m tn If your brother is positive and you cut yourself with the razor; I would wait 6 months and test again Only blood on the razor while cutting yourself would give you any chance of contracting virus.
Avatar f tn Is it a razor rash, in grown hair or what? Does any one have any suggestions on what to do for it?
Avatar m tn What is my risk of HIV from the vaginal sex? 2. What is my risk of genital Herpes from the vaginal sex? 3. Should I bother testing at all? I was tested a couple months back and haven't had many sexual encounters since then. Drs Handsfield &/or Hook, I will ride with whatever you tell me on this, if you say to stop worrying, I will. I'm being stupidly OCD about this, due to guilt and fear. In my head I know the answer but once you guys tell me, I'll be ok.
Avatar n tn Razors are somewhat a needle-like object, and it is inevitable that during shaving blood will get onto the razor. Someone who shaves, using a used razor (of someone who is HIV positive), may get cuts while they are shaving that may possibly allow the virus a way to enter into the body. It's probably unlikely, in the first place, that the virus would even survive on a razor... but there is a bit of risk, so why even have that risk when it can be completely avoided?
Avatar m tn appx 11 weeks ago I had a few drinks and used a used safety razor in the shower at a massage parlor (all women giving massages). I cut my neck shaving. At 8 days my biceps and triceps began aging-my thighs slightly too. My sinuses became inflamed and cleared up in abt three weeks. My muscles have improved but now at 10 weeks still are a bit weak. . I have had a temperature slighly below normal (98.0) for a while now. I had an HIV rapit test @ 6.5 and again at 9 weeks. Both were negative.
Avatar m tn Good morning. I bought a classic razor 2 months ago and I have had it for about 2 months at home, I didn't use it during all this time (2 months). Yesterday, I used it for the first time and I had a small cut in my face. I have been reading and I think that HIV, HBV and HCV don't survive outside the body more than 1 month and a half, but I don't find clear information. I am a bit worried about this.
Avatar m tn Hi, my gillette's razor was in contract with other gillette's razors, if i use it, will i be in risk of getting HIV ?
Avatar f tn I live with my bf who is positive hiv. Yesterday, he shaved by his straight razor and got cut then. He sent me the razor in order to cure his wound before. WHEN I RECEIVED HIS RAZOR,I WAS ACCIDENTALLY CUT BY ITS BLADE ON MY FINGER. It was just 30seconds after he got cut. I was not sure if there were his bloods on it. Just 30sec I thought hiv was not damaged by air. He was afraid I might be infected because he didn't start any medicines. In this situation am I risk?
Avatar m tn I think that if you are that concerned about the chances that you may catch HCV then you should talk to your friend about your fears. Being honest about our care/responsibility in living around other 's and their safety when we have a disease is important. More than likely you should not be able to get hep C unless it is blood to blood . I gave birth to my children and did not know I had HCV and neither have contracted HCV or the father in the 30 years of having it.
Avatar n tn Like all other items of personal use like tooth brush, safety razor and beard trimmer, I would limit the use of MY sex toys (If I ever intended to use any) to myself only. Although the risk is very negligible as rightly pointed out by alienshadow, but why to that that even?
