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.
What else can I help you with?

Which of HIV infected cells are capable of crossing the blood brain barrier and infecting the brain with HIV?

Which blood cells are NOT involved in AIDS?
AIDS is a condition that is a reflection of a person's immune function and has no impact on any cells of the body. HIV (Human Immunodeficiency Virus) is the virus that causes a person to develop AIDS. HIV attacks blood cells that are associated with immune function. Red blood cells would be an example of cells unaffected by HIV. HIV attacks immune cells because it needs them to replicate. The more the virus replicates the more new virus is introduced into the system and more white blood cells are then affected.
Does HIV stay alive in dried blood?
HIV will not survive long outside the body; in most cases if the blood is completely dry, the virus is dead.
What is infected and destroyed by the HIV viruses?
White blood cells
What type of body cells does hiv mainly target and deplete?
White Blood Cells
What is an infectious disease caused by a virus that attacks disease fighting cells in the blood?

For starters, you be get jaundice.... yellow looking skin and possibly whites of your eyes.. You will be very lethargic, loss of appetite. If memory serves correct, your urine will get dark too.
