Cold feet can be due to various reasons such as decreased blood circulation to the extremities due to atherosclerosis that is cholesterol deposition in blood vessels, nerve damage - nerves that detect temperature are not working, lean body - persons who have less body fat need to conserve more heat which happens by feet becoming cold to keep internal organs warm, normal response to cold climate.

I recently got a haircut and accidentally ended up with a small cut from the barber's scissors. I'm really anxious about whether this might transmit HIV. Could scissors carry the virus like that?

The risk of HIV transmission through a minor cut from barber scissors is extremely low, as HIV cannot survive for long outside the human body, and the virus is not transmitted through casual contact or minor cuts; however, to alleviate concerns, consider consulting a doctor or getting a HIV test after the window period (3-6 months) for peace of mind.
