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.

∙ 11y agoAre you asking if you can get infected with a needle that has infected dry blood on it? if so to answer ur question, No. The virus dies within hours of exposure to air and when the blood dries out the virus dies with it. Only if it was highly contaminated and very very recent after the blood dried there could be a chance of infection, but close to zero.

∙ 15y agoYes, but it would be very rare to get the virus unless you introduced the dried blood directly into a fresh cut. Most virii (HIV included) only live for a certain amount of minutes outside the body and exposed to oxygen in great amounts.

A doctor tested a hiv positive person and put the needle on the table before throwing, I went for testing and he put my needle on the dried blood on the table mistakenly can I get infected

Does dried blood contain microorganism?
Dried blood can contain microorganisms. However, these organisms that can be found in dried blood are most often no longer living.
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.
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..........
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.
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.
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.
Can you get HIV from a needle prick?
If the fluid in the needle (I assume blood) does not contain the HIV virus, it is impossible to get HIV from the needle stick. If the blood in the needle is infected with HIV, then there is a fair chance the virus will be transmitted.
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.
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
Is there any risk of infection from dried blood?
NO, any virus including HIV or Hepatitus does not live once it is outside the body till dry.
