Hiv need to attach to cd4 cell in order to form . what happen to the virus if hiv enter cut lips but cant attach to cd4, can the virus survive?

Yes: HIV and any virus for that matter just needs a host cell. Does not need to be CD4 cells=T Lymphocytes. The Lymphocytes are the ones that get ultimately the most damage against them. I strongly suggest you get tested if u are concerned and have been sexually active.
