A member asked:
How much is the lifespan of the hiv virus outside the human body?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Very brief: This virus is very susceptible to physical elements, particularly drying, heat, cold, etc. It may survive slightly longer when present in warm wet material like semen or vaginal secretions, and particularly in blood. As soon as these dry the organism will die quickly.
