HIV/AIDS and Masturbation

[djdw]

Hi,
I have a question about HIV/AIDS and solo masturbation.  Is it possible to come into contact with blood, etc. in the environment through touching things, and then have HIV/AIDS spread through masturbation after this?  How long can HIV survive in the environment?  Could it be preserved under a fingernail, etc.?  I realize that I'm probably overly paranoid about this, but needed some reassurance.  
Thanks.

Thanks for your responses.

HIV can not survive outside of its host. For just how long is debatable. Most experts say seconds only. If HIV were transmitted this way, don't you think everyone in the world would have HIV by now? to answer your questions.. No hiv can not be transmitted though enviromental contact. No it can not be spread even after masturbation. No risk, no worry. No need for testing.

ZERO RISK,


HIV is unable to reproduce outside its living host (unlike many bacteria or fungi, which may do so under suitable conditions), except under laboratory conditions; therefore, it does not spread or maintain infectiousness outside its host.

Hope this helps
