Quick question on hiv in sperm and blood

I know it is there is no exact info on how long hiv survives in these fluids, but say after a days period of drying time, the virus would be dead right?  In other words, if sperm completely dries, one cannot catch hiv in any shape or form right?

no, one cannot catch HIV from a dried sperm. HIV is a very fragile virus that is deactivated as soon as it is out of the physiological conditions.
