HIV in frozen blood "Please answer this. It's causing anxiety." Feb 28, 2012 If there was frozen blood in ice or ice cream and someone ate it with a cut in their mouth, what is the HIV risk, since I read that HIV can live in frozen environments? |

 Thanks for the question, HIV most certainly can not live in a frozen environment. The virus is so weak that it needs to be inside a human body to be kept at the right temperature and wetness. Even room temperature is too cold and will allow the fluid to dry! Hope this helps! Erik | ||||||||
