I am new to this community, so please bear with me.
I have Hepatitis B and am worried that I may have accidentally transmitted the disease when I had my haircut today. A day prior to this, I shaved my beard, causing some cuts and scratches on my neck. Before cutting my hair, the barber wrapped a cape around my neck, covering the spot where I recently had some cuts, to prevent the cut hair from getting into my clothes. I did not see any blood while having the haircut, but when I got home I dabbed a napkin on my cuts and saw some traces of blood.
I am now worried that the piece of cloth that he used around my neck may have come in contact with some blood from my cuts. He also uses this cloth with his other clients.
What are the chances that I have transmitted Hepatitis B and what I can do about this situation.
Thank you and I am looking forward to your helpful responses.
