Can the HIV virus survive inside a Antibacterial soap bottle?


Okay, lets just suppose that someone leaves a drop of blood (HIV infected) inside a bottle filled with antibacterial soap. How long can the virus last? Will the virus be killed instantly?

I'm not sure if it would survive, must put that one to my biology teacher!! All I know is that it can be spread via blood to blood contact .... so maybe you can catch it that way

It won't survive for long at all. Minutes, if that. Even just on its own in a syringe, infected blood would have no traces of living virus within 8 hours, so in a bottle of soap there's no way it'd make it.

this is either the COOLEST or the WEIRDEST question I'VE EVR SEEN ON YAHOO ANSWERS. either way nice thinking...lol

Maybe it could. The soap definitely won't kill it instantly.

the virus dies when it hits air and no cannot live blood to blood contact or sex is the way you get it

Soap of any kind will not kill the virus.

it will die

the HIV virus can exist in blood, semen, breast milk, and saliva. if it hits the air, it dies

Yes it can survive, it wont be killed, because HIV is a VIRUS so it can live in antibacterial soap because this is antiBACTERIAL which kills bacteria not viruses. We just learned about this in science so hopefully i'm right otherwise im gonna fail the test on wednesday. but im pretty sure thats right.

I'm guessing this isn't a likely scenario. I suspect you've just fabricated the worst possible thing that could happen in your mind...right?
The virus probably won't survive anyway. It can only survive outside the body for a very short amount of time - maximum of minutes.

i don't know.
that's freaky though.
Sounds like something out of a comic book.
"A deadly virus kept inside an acid filled bottle survives and mutates to create......VIRUS MAN!"
i dunno...lol

it would survive, if it didn't then we'd have a cure wouldn't we?
haha.

Blood, semen , saliva, breast milk.

I don't think soap is in that list. lol. Great topic though!
