HIV anxiety
Could I possibly get infected with hiv if i put my finger in mouth without washing hand while having throat infection? cuz back of throat are all red, i was not sure if there is my blood on my hand after touching inanimate objects
It does not matter how long HIV "lives" when exposed to air. As others have explained, HIV-infected blood is NOT infectious once it is outside of a body. Please re-read the only two ways that a person can get HIV and you will see that you cannot be infected with blood that is exposed to air.

The title of your thread says it all - "HIV Anxiety." That is all this is. You asked before and were told that this event is no risk, but I am going to try to make it very easy for you:
As an adult, the only risks for HIV are:
1) having unprotected, penetrative vaginal or anal sex, or
2) sharing IV drug needles with other IV drug users.
If you don't do either of the two activities I mentioned above, you will NEVER have to worry about HIV.
