How long does it take the AIDS/HIV virus to die outside of the body?

if it ever does.

Once HIV is outside the body, exposed to air, it dies within a few minutes.

That has been a point of argument for decades. Yes, when exposed to air, it does die. If it's suspended in a liquid or mucus which slowly evaporates, it can last much longer, several weeks.

Peace.

T

It dies within seconds.

as soon as it hits the air
