First off HIV is not alive, it's active or inactive. Second, when HIV is exposure to AIR, PH changes and temperature changes it damages the outer shell of the virus which inhibits it's ability to attach to a CD4 cell. Now move along.

3) since there was a 2 minutes difference between me and the hiv positive with regard to sharing of lancet is it enough to deactivate the hiv and also will blood on lancet dry in 2 minutes?
Edward W Hook, MD say
"3. Probably but testing is reasonable."
That drive me crazy again!

Teak,will you help me please? How long will HIV survive out of body?i mean little flood on the knife.Seconds or minutes?
The last question:If the person before me have AIDS,and we all were cut to bleed,can i be infected?
If you cant help it. You need to seek mental help. Living with anxiety all the time is no way to live. Hope you get help good luck.
Thank you! I know many of my ideas are just funny,but i can't help worrying! What should i do?
Anywere from seconds to minutes. Depending on how much blood is involved. HIV virus is not like most flu and cold viruses etc.. Its is very weak out side of its host (the body). Unless it is under labratory conditions. HIV is not that eazy to contract or the whole world would have it.
No one has ever gotten HIV from being cut from a knife and you will not be the first. Let it go an move on with your life. You DID NOT GET HIV.

Please tell me the exactly time how long can HIV lose it's infection ability,please. I MEAN little flood on the knife.
I am not sure the exactly time before the i was cut by the knife,and what i worry about!
Sorry to trouble again! But H. Hunter Handsfield, M.D. said the HIV can live less than a few minutes,not seconds.
Is seconds the accurate answer? Why others say minutes or hours? I mean the answers make me crazy!
hiv is transmitted through...
unprotected vaginal / anal intercourse
sharing iv drug works
mother to child
hiv is not transmitted through environmental surfaces or inanimate objects.

I didn't have any high-risk behaviours! I am just afraid of the daily contact with HIV,for example haircut,scaling and so on! Maybe I have obsession, I am just very scary!
