Hepatitis transmission from haircut
Went for haircut today. Blade used seemed new but was already cut in half.
Had razorburn at back of head after haircut. 5 mins after I applied aftershave and it burned (still burns after 6 hours).
No visible cut though on head.
I am hep b vaccinated ( rapid immunization done 2 years ago but last 1 year booster dose not taken ) (0, 3, 7, 21 days taken , 1 year dose not taken).
Chances of hep transmission via this way ?
