Teak, can you give a little bit more specifics? The web is full of descriptions of how HIV takes over the T Cells but I've found no information about how it live/exist inside the body. What are the conditions required for HIV to live, or exist?
HIV is not alive, it's either active or inactive. HIV cannot stay active outside its host.
It wouldnt survive at all in lotion. Only in some bodily fluids can it live.
