Title: Why is there not more attention on hairdressers
Post by: Redster on September 04, 2006, 04:11:33 am

Hi Everyone.
Firstly I wanted to thank you all for the amazing service you provide on this website... you are all truly amazing ppl. I am sorry to bring this topic up again yet continue to find conflicting information, and from credibile sources - mainly doctors who are considered experts in their field. I recently reaslied, after having been cut at the back of the neck by a hairdresser with a straight razor that this is a very real HIV risk. Whilst i realise it might be a small risk, how are these hairdressers not monitored far closer as they could be spreading hiv and other blood borne diseases. I also realised that whilst the hairdressers might be more conscious of disinfecting the straight razor.. which he doesnt do everytime, the hair clippers, which can pierce the skin, are never sterilised correctly. I am very worried over this incident. If this is considered such a small risk, why do credible doctors say transmission is possible, and that HIV doesn not die immediately and the incident could lead to hiv infection. I welcome all your comments
thanks
