How long does hiv virus survive on dry surface when it's body fluids or blood that carries it has been washed by water only and stay without visible blood on it for 16days can surface still carry hiv with no visible blood for 16days?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
HIV cannot be transmitted through above mentioned mechanism unless fresh contaminated blood on it, the virus does not live on inanimate surfaces or in the air. There is still a risk for transmission for other germs and the wound should be watched closely until healed. Check cdc.gov for reliable information regarding HIV transmission.
