A member asked:
Does hiv survive in blood if in tap water within the toilet bowl? does tap water immediately kill the virus?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Probably minutes: HIV virus does not thrive that well when outside of the body and thus I don't expect it to survive at most a few minutes when in toilet water Your risk in getting HIV from unprotected sex is way way higher.
