"HIV viruses died while exposed to air" - how true this statement is? any idea?
Question:
Answers:
(m)
FALSE.
The AIDS virus is actually quite flimsy and dies when the fluid it lives in, usually semen or blood, is exposed to air and dries out. It does not live long or well outside the human body, probably for not longer than a few hours. Wiping up the fluids with household bleach can kill the virus. In addition, the virus can be washed from the hands or skin with regular soap.
Other Answers:
yes they become dormant when exposed to air but become active again once in contact with body fluid!
it has been said that the virus dies immediately upon oxygen contact. so it can still be passed sexually, blood transfusions and all other ways. With needles, if the blood being transfused HIV positive then it goes from one tube to the next. No air gets in to those tubes.I'm not sure I understand your question.
Although the virus will die when exposede to air you have to consider the needle produces a vacuum seal of sorts therefore prolonging it's life.Another consideration is Hepatitis C which you can give yourself from needles.
that is soo frlase,you can only get it through sex or touching of blood on anything bodily like sliva..and when its in the air..its sorta not usel to anyone nad doenst do anything.and it can die while in the air cus it could feed off the oxygen and the carbon dioxide in the air..dats soo false its funny
The HIV virus die in the air,it can only live on the fluid it transport it. When the fluid dry,the virus die.
In the needles is the samething, but like the people u drugs its self, dont wait time, the virus is still alive,and they can be infected
hope this can help u
HIV virus is very fragile outside a host and need fluids to live. Upon drying, it dies very quickly. Therefore, normal interactions such as handshaking, eating together and even kissing cannot transmit HIV. (Kissing is actually possible as there is exchange of saliva, but the amount of HIV in saliva is very low and about one bucket of saliva is needed for HIV transmission)
Needles, however, retain a bit of the last user's blood or body fluid. It is the HIV found there that would easily lead to HIV infection. Moreover, injection by needles sends the HIV directly into the blood stream, so a small amount is already enough for an infection. (While in the case of kissing, a large amount of HIV is digested in the alimentary canal)
true
Generally the virus does not survive at the room temperature due to its fragile nature. Scientific studies have found that HIV can sometimes survive in dried blood at room temperature for up to six days.
