How long hiv virus survive and infectious in environment?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
It doesn't matter, since nobody has ever become infected from environmental exposure. Therefore, it's not a high priority for research. The general belief is that the virus is noninfectious within a few minutes of air exposure or drying.
