Question: Help from a doctor or nurse would be greatly appreciated!.!?
Can HIV live outside of a body for 20 minutes!? My friend wants me to find all the info I can on the internet about HIV because he had sex with a girl (with a condom), but he fingered her before!. They finished and he rubbed his eyes because he said he was tired!. Once he touched his eyes though, he realized the fluid on his finger wasn't totally dry!. I know wet fluid should be considered dangerous, but I also know that HIV can't survive well outside of the body!. It was still moist/kind of wet or whatever but it had been 20 minutes!. Is he ok!?Www@Answer-Health@Com
Answers:
I'm a nurse, and although your friend can't know for sure, he's probably fine!. HIV cannot survive outside of the human body very long!. HUMAN Imunodeficiency Virus!. There is always a chance from the slightest amount of contact, but if the woman he slept with did have HIV, it would probably take more than that to do anything!. Although HIV is spread by bodily fluid, not all bodily proposes the same amount of risks as others!. An example would be that you can't contract HIV from kissing a person who has it, unless you or that person had an open sore in the mouth or bleeding gums!. Your friend should take the necessary precautions but he will probably be fine!. Www@Answer-Health@Com
Once the body fluid totally dries HIV dies fairly quickly, it can live for several hours to days if its still wet (think towel soaked in blood or other body fluids)!. He should get to the ER and get tested now and start on the prevenative medications!.
