Will I get HIV by sleeping on bloody sheet

[QHDSDS]

Dear Sir or Madam, I'd like to ask a question about HIV infection from a piece of bed sheet.I recently rent a room in a flat. The bed sheet was provided, not mine.But I found that there are a large number(thousands) of dots in the sheet.These dots are brown just like the blood getting change its color in the air.I don't know whether it is the pattern of the sheet.The dots are decorations.Let's assume that they are blood.Will I get HIV by sleeping on the sheet? I slept on the sheet seven hours after I found those dots.Can HIV survive that long outside body in blood?I'm very afraid.Could you please answer my question.

Hi,  as stated, HIV is not transmitted this way.  We are now closing this thread and we wish you the best.

You had no risk whatsoever. You don't catch hiv by sleeping on blood (if any).  Any bodily fluid, once it's outside the host, gets exposed to air, made null and CANNOT infect you. Your risk doesn't exist.No 'buts' and 'ifs'. Please put this irrational fear behind you and move on.

Thank you malbat, but I still would like to know how long can the HIV survive in blood outside body. Does the amount of the blood make any difference?I'm scared

You just said these dots were decorations on the sheet. You're not going to get HIV from decorations on a sheet! Lol.

I mean they maybe decoration.If they are blood dots,Will I get infected?

Truthfully I think you're being paranoid because there's an obvious difference between a pattern on sheets and blood droplets that were left on a sheet.

Regardless, EVEN IF it was dried blood, there is NO RISk as you've already been told because HIV is NOT able to infect outside the body. In an adult the ONLY way you can be infected is by unprotected anal/vaginal sex or sharing demrug needles with infected users. Period. Nothing else you can think of is any risk.

That's supposed to read drug not demrug.
