ALUM(fitkari) which salon ppl apply(if any cut happens)on men's face after doing shave.does it spread AIDS?

i think it can spread AIDS bcoz if there is any cut on face and it bleeds.then they apply alum on face and then the blood will be there on alum and then if another person comes and if cuts happens to him also and alum is applied to him too..then those AIDS virus will be transmitted to 2nd person also..

If you go to a salon or barber shop, you should always supply your own razor. Razors should never be shared. However in many countries razors are still being shared, and that contributes to the spread of HIV and Hepatitis B%26amp;C.





The alum salve they apply after the shave can get contaminated. It's not likely contaminated by HIV because HIV cannot live very long outside the body. However, Hep B%26amp;C can survive for days on end in the right environment. If the barber washes his hands between customers, the risk is less. Do you see the barber wash his hands after taking care of a customer?





But if you cannot trust your barber's hygiene 100%, then perhaps you should take care of your own grooming.





For women who might erad this, the same rules apply to nail salons. It's a good idea to bring your own equipment so you don't have to use shared clippers and files. Most salons do not mind if you bring your own kit for them to use on you. Some of the nicer salons even let regular customers keep their nail equipment in a drawer in the shop (like a locker).





Women who get their nails doen should be aware of the risks of skin and nail infections like MRSA and fungi.
