1.1.5c TOOTHBRUSHES/RAZORS/NAIL CLIPPERS

It is possible for toothbrushes, razors, nail clippers, tweezers and similar personal care items to come in contact with infected blood. Therefore, sharing of these items is not recommended. Recently concern was expressed over the sharing of electric razors in a VA hospital. A study in Hepatology showed that 19% of veterans tested in a VA hospital in San Francisco were infected with HCV.
