How long HIV patient's blood lose infection in vessels?
How long HIV patient's blood lose infection in vessels? Does the blood in vitro have infection or not? thx!
In order for an eye exposure to be a risk, there has to be exposure to a COPIOUS amount of fresh infectious fluid (usually blood), and even those scenarios are very very rare. What you described is not a risk at all.
I agree with teak that you should be utilizing universal precautions if you're working with blood and blood products, for your safety. HIV would only be one concern, and it would be very minimal. There are other blood borne infections that are far easier to transmit that you should be protecting yourself against.

I would suggest asking your boss for some more education about infectious diseases, as you clearly have irrational, unrealistic anxieties as to what would actually place you at risk.
There's nothing more you can add to the description of your situation that would make me change my mind, you didn't have an HIV risk, end of story. There isn't much more we can tell you, and at this point, all we're doing is repeating ourselves with each anxiety driven question you come up with.

The serum which placed in freezer for a few days, I made the pipe experiment with gloves, then gloves accidentally met my eye, is there really no dangerous ? I really afraid that!
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

THX! If when doing the experiment, accidentally HIV positive serum was in my eyes, is there a risk of infection?
Your mean is that as long as the blood was pumped, HIV virus was inactivation immediately?

Not a risk of contracting HIV.
