This is irrational line of question and thinking. Seek a therapist to help you deal with anxiety issues.
thank you so much for the response..i have a follow up question..what if it hs mixed with vaccine and then injected, is there a risk?i worry cause i was given remnants of anti-rabies vaccine not only once but thrice(the whole course of treatment)
Hi, there is no exact time calculated for the virus to die. HIV is a weak virus and quickly becomes inactive once exposed to external environments. Immediate needle sharing transmits the virus but if a needle is used and is left unattended and is reused after certain amount of time, the virus becomes inactive.
