A member asked:

Is it possible to get aids or hiv by dried old semen that has penetrated to the bed ?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

No: It requires viable cells to support the virus and a significant inoculation that must enter the blood stream through a portal or open wound of some sort.

Dr Ferdowsi agreed
