Clean up after death of HIV positive suicide Jul 27, 2011 We are taking possession of a home that was lived in by someone who was HIV positive. He committed suicide a month ago and we have just been given permission to go in. He shot himself, so I assume there will be dried blood. Should we take any special precautions? We've heard that the virus can only live a few hours outside the body. Is this true? |

 Hi. No special precautions are needed if the blood is dried and a month old. There would be absolutely no HIV-transmission risk. Dr. Bob | ||||||||
