how long?

I  read in another post that hiv does not live outside its host. Can it live in wet fresh blood outside the host( bright red blood)? Some say it must be dried? Is this true?  And this may sound silly, but I cleaned my freezer and found what appeared to be frozen blood. Can it survive in this environment?
Thank-you

I am seeing my doctor tomorrow, but can't sleep and you guys seem to know more than the ones available to me. I was just hoping for an answer so I could move on. have done very well for several days which is good for me. I am making progress, even though you may not see it.
