 Hi, there: HIV does not live well outside of the body. Once the virus leaves the body it starts to die. Within a minutes time it would be unable to infect you. Also, we don't even know for sure if he is HIV positive. Just to be certain, you could go in for an HIV test at the 90 mark. I am confident the test will come back negative. In health, Richard | ||||||||
