does hydrogen peroxide kill hiv?

Question

does it?

i meant outside the body, jesus you people are idiots, sorry, but anyone with half a brain wouldn't think that drinking hydrogen peroxide would cure them. I mean on a surface or needle. Idiots

how can so many of you be so wrong? I was poking around the internet, turns out it DOES kill it outside the body, and it's as effective as bleach. Aids.org told me that. I don't know why i come on here, you people are terrible

Answer 1

sorry, but no, it doesn't

Answer 2

Hydrogen Peroxide Hiv

Answer 3

Almost anything will kill HIV outside of the body. It is a very weak and fragile virus, and like all viruses it requires human/plant cells to survive.

So, yes, like you have already found out hydrogen peroxide will kill HIV. So will exposure to air (dries up the fluid containing HIV), heat, any type of acid etc.,.

Interestingly enough, a few years ago someone came into my office and said he had a cure for HIV/AIDS --- drinking hydrogen peroxide. I did some searching and found a quack website on the topic. This will not work and can be very dangerous.

Answer 4

If HIV was killed with Hydrogen Peroxide AIDS wouldn't be a problem. The answers is: NO.

Answer 5

im pretty sure he means does it kill hiv if someone has it and bleeds on a table, can you wash it with peroxide and kill it, not actually drinking it and curing the virus from your body. Still the answer is no, just google it and it will list what products does kill it though, I think bleach might.

Answer 6

Well - the thing is - that HIV in and of itself dies on contact with air. You have to have it in very high concentration of blood or semen and then have a way of entry into an individual's body through a cut or sore. In and of itself - HIV is harmless - it really takes a 10% solution of chlorine bleach to kill it from blood on surfaces and universal precautions should be followed in coming into contact with infected blood or semen. The reason that homosexuals and heterosexuals so often get it is that those who have sex many times with many different partners or sharing needles - sex especially anally - it makes small tears in the anus or vagina where there is a way of entry for the HIV in the semen to get in. Hydrogen peroxide will not kill it if you drink it - it would kill HIV in and of itself - but it's not enough to kill it on surfaces where there is blood or semen. It's actually not easy to get infected with HIV - if someone with it coughs or breathes on you - you wont' get it. 10% solution of clorine bleach is the way to deal with it - check out the WHO - and learn about the universal precautions for how to kill it specifically on blood and semen infected surfaces and needles - disinfecting involves a 10% bleach solution. Hydrogen peroxide is better than nothing - but it's not as good as the chlorine bleach.

Answer 7

Wow, since it has oxide in it maybe that means it has something that'd desroy the virus. If it could then maybe we could pump a bunch of that into hiv infected people's blood and kill off that virus for good, but ,if u have aids anyone, dont' try it because I just made this up.

Answer 8

Hydrogen Peroxide has shown to be an extremely effective antibiotic, however, to this date no complete analysis has been performed to investigate its effectiveness again the Human In. Virus. Otherwise, it's price would skyrocket. Here is a little data for you to read. http://freedomantiviral.addr.com/anti_microbials.htm

Answer 9

If it did, then there would be a cure and so far researchers are still working in this field. But HIV/AIDS are still a controversy amongst people today.

Answer 10

I know hydrogen peroxide can kill viruses but I don't believe it can kill HIV. Not sure though.

Answer 11

I had a lapse of judgment with a pro. I read this blog and took a hyperemic needle took the unscrewed the needle put the 10% chlorine solution in the filler, then shot it down my urethra. It burns. Then I said my prayers...
