I've had lymph node tuberculosis for a couple of months now and I'm on the medication, but I'm worried because the swelling in my neck keeps getting bigger, and it's pink too. It's also weird because the swelling moves from one spot to another on my neck. What could this mean? How long will it take to get better?

Yesterday I went to Green Trends in Chennai for a haircut, and the barber accidentally cut his finger, which started to bleed. He ignored it and continued with my haircut. After washing my hair, I noticed a cut on the top left side of my ear. When I got home, my friends confirmed there was indeed a slight cut. Im really worried nowif the barber has HIV or hepatitis, is there a chance I could have contracted it through this cut? Would appreciate any advice on what steps I should take next.
