hiv outside of the host

[aussiet]

hi
i ordered a hamburger at lunch and the lady wrapping it for me had a cut on her finger. she wrapped it and gave it to me straight away. i took it from her and held it in the same place. the blood would not have been exposed to air because it was trapped between my finger and the wrapping. it was sprinkling rain and i instinctively wipped my eye with the finger that was on the blood. i know air kills the virus but it would only have been exposed to air for a split second. that is not enough time. would other factors such as a change in moisture levels and temperature been enough to deactivate the virus if not kill it?
Thanks

You truly need to educate yourself regarding HIV infection risks. Your concept of "exposure to air" is absolutely misguided. Do you think you live in a vacuum where air cannot access everything in the environment. Because a sandwich is wrapped in paper , a bag or whatever else, does NOTmean it is NOT exposed to air. Try to exercise some rationale and common sense. Regardless, you in NO WAY would be infected with HIV from an infected food worker in this manner. It would make my and all the other educators here jobs so much easier if people who expend just a fraction of energy squandered over HIV anxiety to educated themselves regarding HIV using reliable sources.
