Why is it that HIV virus can not live when expelled in a sneeze? |
Why can't it be transfered to another individual via saliva? It is probably a combination of the fact that HIV does not fare well in saliva along with the fact that arial transmission is unlikely to put the virus in contact with the specific types of white blood cells that HIV infects. There is one supposed case of HIV transmission through saliva, but I'm not sure that was ever confirmed. I've read that it doesn't survive outside the body very well. Most, maybe all viruses need a host to get by. Malaria and many other pathogens are using the mosquitoes to spread and find new hosts. HIV has been found in saliva and tears in very low quantities from some AIDS patients. It is important to understand that finding a small amount of HIV in a body fluid does not necessarily mean that HIV can be transmitted by that body fluid. HIV has not been recovered from the sweat of HIV-infected persons. Contact with saliva, tears, or sweat has never been shown to result in transmission of HIV. HIV, like most other pathogens, cannot survive outide the body for very long. it needs the right environment, and outside of the body is not conducive. |
