-- The only studies on the survival of HIV outside the body have been conducted in the laboratory under controlled scientific conditions. These studies found HIV is not affected by extreme cold, but it is inactivated by heat and is destroyed after 30 minutes at 60oC.
-- Scientific studies have found that HIV can sometimes survive in dried blood at room temperature for up to six days. It is extremely difficult to assess exactly the length of survival of HIV outside the body in a non- laboratory setting.

It's not very long, and once it's dead it can come back to life like that other person said. You are more likely to catch Hepatitis than HIV from body fluids that have been outside of the body for awhile.
