Here’s the translation to English:
“My father had contact with my blood during the period when I had ARS symptoms (when he was shaving/trimming the hair on my legs). My father’s hand at that time may have had cuts but was not bleeding, or he used the razor blade or toothbrush that had my blood on it, and afterwards he had symptoms and is currently experiencing prolonged inflammation.“

Why are you asking two unrelated questions one after another.
You apparently do not know you had HIV ARS. Although Theoretically HIV can be transmitted through shared razors or toothbrushes the first thing to do is determine if your symptoms were the ARS. As I explained earlier, I doubt that they were. EWH

So, my father touching my blood during the early stage of my infection would pose a risk if my father’s hand had cuts (not bleeding), or if he shared a toothbrush or razor afterwards?
The fact that an elite controller tests negative on 4th generation tests and rapid tests, only reacting to 3rd generation and Western blot, as in 1 out of 17 cases below:
https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/pdf/10.1310/hct1502-62
Would mean that such cases would be missed, wouldn’t it, sir?
I once read that there was a case where an elite controller transmitted the infection to his wife when the viral load suddenly blipped.
And there’s a report about viral load in blood being below the detection threshold, but the viral load in other compartments of the body and vaginal secretions (when inflamed) will be higher and capable of transmitting to others, if they don’t use immunosuppressive drugs like other patients do.“

I cannot reach the link you provided however the fact is that elite controllers have positive antibody tests. N4th generation tests, like 3rd generation tests and Western blots have detectable antibodies. You do not know you have HIV and are misinterpreting suspect reports.
No change in my assessment or advice. You have one follow-up remaining. EWH
