Does hiv virus outside of body actually die after time or become intert/inactive? |
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? 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. ...Did you fail biology? Viruses can not survive outside of the host's body. I believe it is dead. If it gets wet, it cannot come back to life. 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. 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. 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. |

That's a good question. I know the virus is present in bodily fluids, but is it actually in the sperm themselves? I'm not sure, but I'd like to know! I doubt you'll find out on ... do a blood test ...yes... ...It completely depends on the amount of HIV, the amount of fluid it is carried in, and where it is.
