Does the HIV virus dies immediately when it comes in contact with air?
Q: It is said that HIV dies immediately once it comes in contact with air. Is it true?
A:No, HIV does not die immediately when exposed to air. The virus becomes inactivated (dies) when it has been exposed to air for a short while - generally described as when the blood dries.
