No. the aids virus needs a consistent environment and dies easily outside the body. Acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) is caused by a virus known as Human Immunodeficiency Virus(HIV). HIV is contagious and can be transmitted from person to person. HIV can be transmitted during sexual contact, sharing contaminated needles, from mother to child through breast milk or during birth. HIV has also been spread as the result of contaminated blood products.
