What else can I help you with?
Will cold kill HIV?
The HIV virus will die immediately it is exposed to the air. So there is no danger from dried blood or dried semen. Cold will not kill HIV. It actually stabilizes it. If stored at extremely low temperatures, HIV can "live" for months.
If a guy with HIV gets scratched with a nail and the blood on that nail dried up and there is no drop of blood on it and someone gets scraped with that nail will he get HIV?
HIV needs body warmth in order to survive and so if it is cold enough for the blood to dry..........
Can HIV virus be alive in soft drink?
The HIV virus can only be transferred through blood, so no.
Can dried blood transmit hiv?
Anything can be contaminated with HIV, a simple touch could spread it, but, usually not so much.
Can touching a bandaid with blood on it in a playground transmit HIV?
It is possible, but not likely. HIV cannot survive long outside the body, but Hepatitis can live in dried blood for up to two weeks.
Do the HIV virus can stay in the semen or in blood only?
in my understandig the hiv virus lives only with in cell becous hiv virus is obligatory intracelular parasite so hiv may stay in the semen b/c of semen has contain small amount of blood but rather than blood hiv in the semen short life long b/c the muliplication may disteb
Can you catch HIV from dried blood that is on a wall if you accidentally touch it and your fingers go in your mouth?
It is not likely to get infected. If you had a cut on your finger when you touched the blood, and if the virus was present and still alive, there then would be a possibility of being infected.
When the dried HIV blood can transmite the HIV?
1) Dry blood can't transmit HIV. 2) HIV virus can't survive out of the body/host for more than 10 minutes depending on the volume of the blood and the temperature. 3) However, on the dry blood there maybe other kinds of bacteria that might be lingering around. Hope that answers your questions.
Is dried blood dangerous?
No. Dangerous viruses die in high-oxygen areas. There have been no cases of people getting infected with HIV or hepatitis through dried blood. These viruses are too weak and cannot survive without a host, which dies when the blood dries.
Can dried blood contain HIV?
If the blood on the clothing has been exposed to air and has solidified, then there is zero chance of you becoming infected. Strange as it may seem, air is the most efficient means of killing HIV - so once it is exposed to air, HIV can only survive for a matter of minutes. The only circumstances in which HIV will survive outside of the body is if it is kept warm and moist in some sort of airtight container .. such as a syringe / hypodermic needle.
Does the blood cells in a syringe have to be alive to get HIV?
Time and amount blood in a syringe from an infected person determines how long HIV virus is still active. Infected blood exposed to air, once dried had died (becomes inert) and is no longer infectious. In a Syringe the life of active HIV cells will die (depending on how much blood is in the syringe) will take from one to four weeks. It is best to always dispose of a used syringe immediately. For HIV (or an infectious agent) to remain active, it needs host cells to reproduce. In a laboratory for instance, a synthetic agent or actual blood cells are kept in a controlled environment so it may be studied. HIV active cells will die almost as soon as blood leaves the body when exposed to air till it dries.
If someone with HIV scratches you in your eye and draws your blood and they have dried blood sweat or saliva on their fingernails can you become infected?
The way that an HIV infection occurs is through a fluid-blood contact. If the HIV-infected person had none of their blood on their fingernail, your chances of infection are zero. Fluids that carry a high titer of HIV include blood, semen, vaginal fluids and breast milk. Fluids of the nervous system and joints also contain a high concentration of HIV, but t is very unlikely to come in contact with these fluids outside of the health care industry. HIV is transmitted thru warm blood to blood contact with someone who has the HIV virus thats it there is no other way.
