Survivability of lab grown hiv

[gin12345678]

Pls bear with my ridiculous sounding questions, as i have extreme ocd over hiv. Heres my situation: there's a colleague of mine who seriously hates me n wants my position in e co. Hes also highly promiscuous. My question is: if he happened to have some lab grown highly infectious hiv fluid and stored it in ice, could he infect me by putting it into my ear phones or waterbottle? If not, then why?? How long could such hiv survive ??? Pls pls help me explain it away, i need to stopmy worrying once n for all! :(

It doesn't matter where it comes from, HIV doesn't survive on environmental surfaces, period. You can't infect someone that way. It needs to be injected deep into tissue (this is not an invitation to get into a line of Q & A on whether you would know if you were injected- YOU WOULD KNOW).

Yes i am well aware tt ii have a mental health issue but what im askin is whether even lab grown hiv becomes inactive despite "' surviving'' when dried?

Mental health issue not an HIV issue.

Thanks for tt explanation  - ive read tt lab grown hiv can survive a few hours or days after drying. Does tt mean tt while it survives its unable to infect once e outer shell is damaged? Sorry ! Im so confused!

Once taken out of laboratory conditions the damage begins right away--the outer layer of the viral particles become damaged and unable to infect.

What if there was a cut in my ear or my mouth, i do have slightly bleedy gums sometimes... So ur saying tt once its taken out of e lab conditions it wld be inactive ? How long wld it take?

It can survive for long periods under laboratory conditions but it has to get into your blood stream remember--no risk.
