the following are different answers ive found for you :
Depends on the virus. For example HIV usually dies fairly quickly outside of the body whereas Hepatitis B can live on a dry surface for weeks.
HIV and even Hepatitis C have relatively short lifespans outside of the body. Hepatitis B is about 7 - 10 days
never read that HBV outside the human body can survive more than 1 month.
the lifespan of HIV is not more then 30 second outside human fluids and this is a very short period to play such a mischif.Please make it clear.So this panic can be removed.
hope thts at all useful
