does hiv virus outside of body actually die after time or become intert/inactive?

Question

yes i want to know whether the hiv dies after 9 seconds or it just becomes inactive. I also want to know whether the virus can be put back in fluid assuming it was inert/inactive and therein become active again?

Answer 1

The virus dies outside the host body. It cannot be reactivated in moisture, because the virus needs a host cell to take over and reproduce in.

Answer 2

HIV, unlike other viruses (e.g. common cold virus, influenza, or hepatitis c), is a rather fragile virus...meaning that it's protein machinery will irreversibly degrade rapidly outside a host rendering the virus permanently inactive. Saying a virus is "dead" is really a misnomer because a virus is never "alive". What is critical, is whether is a virus is capable of invading a host cell and replicating. HIV may remain infective for a time out side the body (e.g. in a drop of blood), perhaps up to 24? hours.

Answer 3

The HIV virus will die outside the body after awhile, but the Hepatitis virus can live on even in a dried up puddle of fluid.

Answer 4

If the circumstances have been suited for survival the virus would stay for about 30 hours. On a Peace of steel ( nail) uncovered to air and the environmental trash floating interior the air you could relax honestly. it rather is plenty greater in all danger which you will possibly contract tetanus than HIV via this way of touch. So get a tetneus booster and pass bend that nail over with a hammer.

Answer 5

HIV lives off of white blood cells. Assuming things like pH and temperature remain the same outside the body as inside, HIV will die once all the white blood cells are dead.

Answer 6

...Did you fail biology? Viruses can not survive outside of the host's body.

Answer 7

I believe it is dead. If it gets wet, it cannot come back to life.
