A member asked:
How long could hiv live in semen and is dried positive semen still infectious?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes, but: Live when wet. Still potentially infectious when dry. If you are HIV positive and not using barrier sex, you are seriously potentially infecting your partner. If you are having sex with an HIV positive partner....I can't understand that!
