No you can't get HIV from that. HIV can't live that long out of the body. I'm not sure of the time spand though.

Hiv can live only minutes being outside of its host. Bleach is the only thing that will really kill it. Air can but its hard to say exact time when and all of it or what? BLEACH.BLEACH and MORE BLEACH. Get disposible razors. May not be the best but better. I am 1 of 3 sisters and even though they are family i wouldnt share it with them because some people dont know if something is wrong with them or they know and dont tell anyone.

I'm HIV positive and all as I know I was told not to share a toothbrush or a razor because of the risk of blood.So it must live outside the body for a little while anyways.

HIV cannot live on a razor in the shower. The blood cells explode due to osmosis and being filled w/ water.

You can't get HIV from the shower, and extremely unlikely to get it from the razor.

Yes, if there was blood on the razor. And it will remain there unless you use Bleach to kill the virus. It is common knowledge that Bleach is the best chemical to disinfect anything that may have come in to contact with blood that is infected with the virus.

You very very paranoid. Im assuming if someone cut themselves enough to bleed with a razor theyd clean it off. If its in the shower i dont see the big deal with it unless you have tiny cuts all over your body.

HIV is actually a fragile virus.I dont think it can live longer than a few days.Bleach kills all germs and viruses,including Ebola.

if the HIV expose by air, there is a VERY HIGH chance that it will be destroyed
but my suggestion is to not share razer, its not worth it taking a risk. plus razer is cheap, just buy a new one.
