Viruses and bacteria need something alive to live off of so if the blood is completely dry, the virus is dry and there is no chance of getting it.

Blood on blood, people!
i'm not sure but i believe theirs ALWAYS a risk but talk to your doctor and see what he/she says
i dont know but I wouldnt do it myself(even if they didnt have it thats totally gross)
If you cut yourself with the blade there is a risk.
if the blade had his blood on it, and you cut yourself with it, and his blood got into your open bloody wound, then YES, you should get tested. if not, stop freaking out. youre fine.
First of all you should NEVER USE SMEBODY ELSES BLADE and NO you can only get HIV IF you had a cut and the blood was trasfrd into your cut but you said it had no blood on so yr safe!!
GOD BLESS!!
ofcourse! u can get it HIV! be careful!
Yes, yes, yes, in the same manner that sharing used needles can transmit the HIV virus.
yes
If you cut yourself with it, I believe yes.
Unless that blade was sterilized with some form of anti-bacterial liquid ie. bleach, iodine, 90% isotropic alcohol or an equivalent, that blade has the possibility to hold the HIV virus.As with syringes, the remaining blood can still contain the virus. These facts are in most HIV/AIDS pamphlets. Please be a little more responsible when it comes to things like that, that could mean your LIFE! LATER!!
Only if they cut themselves.then you shave and cut yourself.and their blood is still fresh.that's a lot of ifs.so i think the risk is low.but the risk is still there..be safe always about things like that.but my advice.just go buy a pack of disposable razors..like 2 bucks for 12 razors.and have a nice clean and worry free shave
I agree with everyone who said "yes". Every six months you need to be checked out with a blood test. Most women (men too) nick themselves while shaving. So, take precautions and never share razors again. Lesson learned!

Yes it's possible. U should never share razors. The other person could have knicked him/herself with this razor. My fiance and I don't even share razors.
I remember an Chat friend that said his friend use his brother shaving blade that how he got AIDs
Never use another shaving blade
Because on the bleed that may be on it
Well if the HIV pos person used the shaver and blood got on it and then u used it like right away and cut yourself then possibly but if the HIV pos person used the shaver and got blood on it and the shaver sat out for two hours like u say well the HIV virus dies when exposed to air for a period of time--the virus doesn't live outside the body
