How long does HIV live outside the body in blood while in open air?


???

HIV does not survive well outside the body. Therefore, HIV cannot be spread through casual contact鈥攕uch as sharing drinking glasses or by casual kissing鈥攚ith an infected person. HIV is not transmitted through contact with an infected person's saliva, sweat, tears, urine, or feces, or through insect bites.

Science is still debating about the actual longevity of the HIV outside of a host.

it dosent matter becouse its not long enough to infect anybody.
im guessing microseconds

It does not.

As I was taught, it can live up to 72 hours in dried blood in open air.
