Always wanted to know this answer, but blood from people who have used USA blood in the UK during a certain time period before the 1980's or some year are banned from donating again because of some HIV infections. So I guess HIV can last quite a long trip in blood bags.

at the start, blood can not nonetheless be moist after 2 to 3 hours; for this reason that wasn't in basic terms blood, it has to have been mixed with water or some thing like it. It takes 3 to seven minutes via fact the main for blood to coagulate, our cells want oxygen with the intention to proceed to exist and the HIV is preetty vulnerable out of blood. So, if such glass has had that spot of blood for about 2 hours and such blood became nonetheless moist, i individually do no longer think of that HIV would have made it via. Now, there's a positioned up-exposure scientific care with a cocktail of antibiotics and antirretrovirals that would desire to take place as quickly as achieveable after an exposition to a probable contaminated merchandise or guy or woman. Ask approximately it on your wellbeing care expert or flow to the closest wellbeing center, and DO IT NOW... nonetheless analyzing?... NOW!!! do no longer hessitate. Regards, Lifeguard.

Theoretically it can survive if it is still contained in viable blood, but HIV is a really delicate virus and actually can't survive outside of the body for more than a few seconds even under ideal (e.g. wet blood) conditions.

only for a few seconds. hiv is not an airborne virus and therefore does not have the capacity to live outside it's host for very long. it can survive a little longer if it's concealed, such as in a needle (i.e., if an infected person shoots up and then soon thereafter you use the same needle, it's likely you will be infected).

It depends on several factors, such as the amount of HIV present in the blood, room temperature, etc.
