Crisco?
Aug 5, 2009

Does HIV live in Crisco? I understand that it doesn't survive long outside of the body, but I didn't know if that was true for only certain environments.

Thanks.

Response from Dr. Frascino

Hi,

A can of Crisco, whether in your kitchen's pantry or your bedside table's goody drawer, would definitely qualify as "outside the body" and therefore be an inhospitable environment for HIV.
