HIV is unable to reproduce outside its living host (unlike many bacteria or fungi, which may do so under suitable conditions), except under laboratory conditions; therefore, it does not spread or maintain infectiousness outside its host.
HIV is transmitted by;
Unprotected penetrative anal and/or vaginal sex
Sharing works with other IV drug users
Mother to child
So basically HIV transmission has to be done immediately inside the body. You not going to get it by accidently touching something and not realizing and then touching yourself?
Yes it is immediately. You didn't have an HIV exposure.
Okay. Is it immediately? Cause this is where I get confused there are some sites that it does take like 30 secs to minutes. And we went into the stall directly after the person before us.
once exposed to air, hiv becomes inactive and unable to infect
