How long can HIV survive outside the body?

HIV can actually survive for more than 10 days at normal room temperature and in a liquid environment, such as the blood or body fluids of an AIDS patient, according to the latest studies. Items contaminated by HIV patients with their bodily fluids may survive for up to 3 days at room temperature. But as long as the skin or mucous membranes are intact and unbroken, even if you come into contact with HIV, there is no problem because our skin is the first line of defense against the virus and it is very powerful, including sharing utensils, shaking hands or toilets, these situations are not necessary to fear. Sharing utensils, the digestive tract has powerful proteases, and all viruses are generally okay as long as there are no ulcers or bleeding of the oral mucosa or ulcers or bleeding of the digestive tract, which can destroy the virus.
