I have some question about HIV transmission. Hi, I was reading something on a website where couple had been infected by sharing a razor. Please tell me is this possible, because I do sometimes with my girlfriend.

The probability is very low, but still there exists a risk of HIV transmission thru razors if an HIV+ person's blood is present on the razor. Or if it is not cleaned and dried properly before being used, a cut or a scrape in your face while using the same razor can transmit HIV. The chance of HIV surviving for a long time in a razor is low, HIV has been known to survive in needle tips for up to several hours.
