Question

So, I recently got a shave at the barber's, and there was a pimple near my moustache. The razor blade nicked it, and I was bleeding a bit. I saw the barber change the blade, so I'm pretty sure it was new, but I'm still worried. Is there any risk of HIV from this? Could you help me figure out if I should be concerned?
