Live, perhaps. But it loses ability to reproduce RIGHT AWAY after exposure with the air.
It makes sense, but I've also read from HIV sites that the virus can live for several minutes outside of the body in blood. I'm nervous about this.
Yes, because HIV virus is fragile in nature.
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.
Thanks for the reply, but could the virus be destroyed that quickly? It was blood from an open cut onto the head and foreskin of my penis directly.
Because HIV immediately gets neutralised by the air.
That feels good to hear, but how so?
None, you never had a risk.
