Yes, within seconds of coming into contact with oxygen, the virus dies.
A lot of I.V. drug users get AIDS because they share used needles, which have not been properly sterilized.
When blood is drawn into the syringe, the needle tip is embedded in the body, and they blood goes into the syringe chamber, which is also sealed.
A remnant of the infected blood remains in the chamber, and when the uncleaned syringe is passed to another user, that infected blood mixes with the users blood, and is returned to the new user, at which point he becomes infected.

Well okay even if there semen was exposed to air, yes the AIDS virus is pretty much killed by air, it can't survive, but the chances that all of the semen has come out even a little is very rare. It is still possible if there was some left in there or I hope you get the point, it is still possible for her to get it, no matter what without protection, AIDS is nothing to play with, and apparently that is what she is doing....you need protection!!

As much as I would like to give you false hope, there are a number of virus that when exposed to various components and chemicals in the air die. However, to my knowledge the HIV and AIDS viruses are not counted among them. The majority of viruses are impossible to kill, because unlike baterica they are DNA strains (not actually living organisms) that have the ability to replicate and reproduce only after having invaded a host cell. That is why they have been unable to find a "cure" for either.

There is a lot of controversy around this topic. But what you're describing is simply a pipe dream. The virus does not die that quickly. It was first thought to die within minutes or hours but has proven to be viable for up to 48 hours in some studies.

The HIV virus, like all viruses, needs a medium (in this case, blood, semen, and some other human fluids) to survive. Exposure to air and room temperature damages the fragile crystiline shell of the virus and "kills" it.

Sperm will stay as long as 2 days once ejaculated so long because it continues to be moist. Your theory is thoroughly faux because men make a contribution to sperm banks or have sperm examined with the help of ejaculating semen right into a dish or cup. If the sperm died at present there should be no sperm banks, nor a thanks to inform what a guy's sperm count number should be. If a guy hands you he ought to not be fingering his own fluids with an same hand! undesirable.

If you've been exposed to HIV you've been exposed to HIV whether it has seen the light of day, been in the "air" went for a swim or a walk along the boardwalk...If you think you've been exposed go to the doctor and get tested...

It can survive in the air for about 40 seconds.

Most viruses, HIV and AIDS included, cannot survive while airborne or on hard surfaces. They need the climate of the human body to thrive.
