Did you have a possible exposure?
I walk on the grass and suddenly stabbing by a syringe,I am sure that the syringe is used for drug and i can see some blood in the syringe.So i want to know how long will fresh blood inactivation in a syringe?
Thank you teak
You can't get infected in that manner. You have to inject yourself in a vein or artery.
Do you have some data about how long will blood inactivation in a syringe?
On the tip of a syringe it becomes inactive immediately but inside the syringe it would take longer.You had no risk because the tip of the syringe is not infectious.
Thank you for your replying.You said that it will take longer inside the syringe,I want to know how long?When the blood coagulation?I learned that blood will be coagulation in about 10 minutes.Is that means the blood inside the syringe will be inactive in about 10 minutes?Thank you!
It depends on the amount of blood in the syringe and how high the infected persons viral load is.I can't give you a time,no one can.
I'm sorry to bother you again.I still want to know the state of coagulated blood,Is the coagulated blood inactive or can still Infect others?
When blood starts drying the virus becomes inactive--it's that simple.
What does drying mean?Coagulating?
Last question.
when the blood is completely coagulated in the syringe,Is there any active hiv virus that can infect others?
