| Response from Dr. McGovern
 Sharing razors is not recommended although there are no clear cases of transmission this way. It is more a theoretical concern and I agree that razors should not be shared. Although sexual transmission is uncommon, it does occur, particularly in situations where there may be traumatic insertion (eg, anal sex) or associated STDs where the skin is open (like syphilis). | ||||||||
