Aids depends on the right conditions to survive. it will not survive for long outside a live host.
No. HIV needs a host. It does not live long, outside the body.
No
A virus outside a host cell is generally referred to as a virion. This is the inactive form of the virus that is unable to replicate until it enters a suitable host cell.
host
Viruses do not cause diseases in the host. Why? Well, the host is already causing the virus so it is IMPOSSIBLE for another virus to be cause in the host.
No, eliminating the supply of oxygen from the air would not kill off a virus because viruses do not require or consume oxygen to survive. Viruses need a living host cell to replicate and cannot survive for long outside of a host organism.
A virus needs a host cell to survive and replicate. Once inside a host cell, the virus can hijack the cell's machinery to make copies of itself. Without a host cell, viruses cannot survive for long periods outside of a living organism.
It would not be advantageous for a virus to kill its host because if the host dies, the virus would also die since it needs the host to replicate and spread. It is more beneficial for a virus to keep the host alive so it can continue to infect other individuals.

The Mumps virus is characterized by swelling of the parotid glands, salivary glands and other epithelial tissues, causing high morbidity (illness) and in some cases more serious complications such as deafness or damage to the testes.
No, the rabies virus cannot survive outside of a living host for long once the saliva dries. The virus is very fragile and is typically not transmittable through contact with dried saliva.
