Q: if blood is mixed in the water than after how many hours hiv in blood is dies?

: Probably the virus would die very quickly, but no research has been done. And it doesn't matter: exposure to such water would carry no risk of infection even if living HIV were present. Nobody in the world has ever been infected in this manner. Don't worry about it.
