HIV Outside the Body??

My question is how long can HIV survive outside the body in blood and semen, is it possible to be transmitted from touching it in public places by accidents and getting into a cut or is it true that once it leaves the host that the HIV dies very quickly??

Hi there,

HIV is not transmitted through casual contacts or in incident like you have mentioned.
