HIV outside body

[tdtn]

Hi everybody,
People ask me, the HIV virus in the vagina aqueous of women who survive long outside air (finger grip on the penis)? And after exposure to the air it is likely to infect?
Thanks All

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.

HIV is transmitted by;
Unprotected penetrative anal and/or vaginal sex
Sharing works with other IV drug abusers
Mother to child

I was punctured by a small tool at a store. It bled quite a bit. I didn't see any blood on it after my injury. My eyesight is not very good. Some one used it right  before me. How long can hiv live outside the body in wet blood? I don't know if he injuried himself or not. He left immediately. Many unknowns, but is this a possible risk?
Thank-you

Thanks all.So HIV can not be transmitted once from the body and exposed to the air!?
