I am not sure what you're trying to say, to be honest. Why don't you say what kind of exposure/risk you may have had personally?

jim110 · Answer

so you mean even though what i say just now happen it can't spread hiv at all?

hangon51 · Answer

No it does not mean that at all.
The infected fluid/blood must transfer DIRECTLY into the other person's bloodstream.

Does this mean if when the fluid leave the host,it doesn't expose to air but be covered with something like clothes or paper and there is little air, the virus can keep active and can infect others?

Because the blood inside the syringe/needle is shielded from the environment .

I already told you it becomes inactive & unable to infect you once exposed to air.
