HIV is very: Sensitive to environmental exposure and does not last longer . I think you wanted to know whether HIV can be transmitted airborne. The answer would be no. Hiv is strictly body fluid related infection including sexual intercourse , contaminated blood and blood product transfusion , skin or blood vessels pricked by sharp object that contain contaminated ( hiv) containing body fluid

HIV is hard to get: Not sure what you are really asking. Hiv is not transmitted in the air. It is only transmitted with direct contact to your blood stream. What are you really worrying about? It is best to be specific on this site.
