How long hiv survives on a surface in a refrigerator? i cut my hand by a beer bottle cap that was inside the fridge. what if the bottle cap has cut someone else before me? does the fridge make the hiv survive longer on the surface of the bottle cap?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
HIV transmission is not possible in above described scenario, HIV does not survive on inanimate surfaces, check cdc.gov for accurate information regarding HIV transmission. Other superficial infections remain possible and watching the wound until healed would be recommended.
