Hello experts i want to know can hiv survive on band aids or wet tissues . i know it's not blood on them but can other general secretions be present on them . i do not like to use wet items .can hiv live on them even if wet ?or does air kill hiv

Transmission of HIV: For purposes of transmission, I do not know of any transmission through environmental surfaces. Though checking through the Center of Disease Control Website might give you the latest information. Blood secretions, vaginal secretions, donor organs...are culprits. I would suggest that you be evaluated by a physician and obtain laboratory tests ruling out HIV and other possible infectious agents.

HIV can survive..: .at room temperature outside the body for hours if dry (if initial concentrations are high) and for weeks if wet (in used syringes/needles).However, the lower concentration of HIV in bodily fluids would only survive outside the body a few minutes if dry; the items you suggest would dry quickly.Transmission of disease does not occur if no contact with open skin/cuts/mucous membranes.Hope this helps
