HIV survives in water ?
Feb 10, 2012

If i touch a glass of water that contains HIV+ vaginal fluid in it, can we consider the virus dead because of the solution in water?

Response from Ms. Southall

Hi Yes you can not only because of the water but HIV does not survive long after it leaves the body. So this is not a way to get HIV.

Be well and stay safe, Shannon
