Just curious. I am trying to expand my knowledge of HIV and further destroy my anxiety of it. I have read that HIV will die when exposed to extreme heat, but will survive longer in cold weather conditions. Now, does that mean HIV can survive in cold weather conditions outside of the body, or in a controlled environment? I know HIV dies quickly outside of it's host (the body), but I just wanted some clarification. If anyone cares to answer, it is greatly appreciated. Thank you!
