Is it just me or has anyone else noticed that barbers no longer sterilize their clippers nowadays.

Even those that have the sterilization machine, either the machine doesn’t work or they just don’t make any effort to use them anymore.

The ones that used to pour ethanol on their clippers then light it up node even do am again.

Abi dem node fear HIV again

Chances of you getting HIV with their clippers is very slim.
I am not saying what they are doing is right or you can’t get it with the clippers. But the probability is very low.

May be na for your area Sha.

Best solution.

Buy your own clipper.

You should buy your own clipper just to be on a safer side

lol. Bacteria can die by just exposing them to raw fire. We did this experiment in my final year in microbiology lab

The risk of contracting HIV from barber clippers is considered very low. HIV is primarily transmitted through direct contact with infected bodily fluids, such as blood, semen, vaginal fluids, and breast milk. Here are some key points to consider:

1. HIV Survival Outside the Body: HIV does not survive long outside the human body. It becomes inactive when exposed to air, which significantly reduces the risk of transmission.

2. Blood Exposure: For transmission to occur via barber clippers, there would need to be a significant amount of infected blood on the clippers and a way for that blood to enter the bloodstream of another person (e.g., through a cut or open wound). This scenario is very unlikely.

3. Hygiene Practices: Most barbers and salons adhere to strict hygiene and sterilization practices to prevent the spread of infections. This includes cleaning and disinfecting tools between clients.

4. Other Infections: While HIV transmission is unlikely, there are other infections that could potentially be transmitted through improperly cleaned clippers, such as hepatitis or bacterial infections.

In summary, while it is theoretically possible to contract HIV through barber clippers if specific conditions are met, the risk is extremely low if proper hygiene practices are followed.

I don’t know which is more scary, you being a microbiologist or you referring to HIV as a bacteria. Even from the name, that should give you an insight it’s not a bacteria.
Nigeria is in a mess.

First of all, clippers these days do not cut the flesh.
Secondly, recent research on the study of the HIV virus shows that the virus cannot survive up to 3 minutes outside the human body.
Thirdly, most barbars are illiterates and no laws to checkmate them.

Barbers just want to shave and collect money. They don't care about your health

I pity you my brother if you still patronize that barber, na infection you dey play with so
Its better to increase the fees and do everything right than miss out a very important part of barbing.

On a lighter note, soon you will be seeing lots of full bushy unkempt hair, don't ask questions if you are not going to pay for a haircut

Do you want to kiss goodbye to this moniker like the one attached below?

Lighter heat reaches temperatures of over 2,000°C.
A simple Google search could have helped you.

Hahahahahah...2000 deg C indeed...and the clipper doesnt melt. Do you know i can also put that lighter fire on my finger for few seconds..same as they do on the clipper..and nothing will happen to my finger...
The inflammable liquid they douse on the clipper has a better chance of killing microbes than that fire of 3 to 10secs

Its not everything we be shouting google upandan.u gotta use google with sense....

That u googled that lighter fire may reach temps of 2000 degrees..(wch is not even practical) doesnt translate to the clipper being exposed to that temperature..they could hv used matches or even candle fire to light up the clipper...
The main point is that .The fire/flame lasting barely 6secs cant do shit to kill any serious bacteria...that we are even having this convo makes me scared of what is being taught in schools and level of scientific knowledge the avg nigerian has..

This is true
