As a virus, HIV usually needs to maintain the normal structure and function of its viral protein and nucleic acid in blood, body fluid and other fluids.
Survival time of HIV virus in the air
From the biological characteristics of HIV, it has low external resistance and is sensitive to heat. The 56 ℃ 30 HIV can treat human T lymphocytes in vitro in a few minutes, but it cannot completely inactivate HIV in the serum. The 100 ℃ 20 HIV can be completely inactivated in a few minutes.
HIV can also be inactivated by 75% ethanol or 0.2% sodium hypochlorite and chlorinated lime. At present, the mode of transmission of AIDS is sexual transmission, mother to child transmission and blood transmission. HIV usually cannot live independently in the air, and it is usually inactivated within a few minutes, losing its infectivity.
The most important thing to prevent AIDS is to strictly avoid high-risk sexual behavior. When having sex, safety measures must be taken, which can greatly reduce the risk of AIDS infection. We resolutely do not go to informal medical institutions for invasive procedures such as miscarriage, tooth extraction, or cosmetic surgery.
How long can AIDS virus live in the air
The survival time of HIV in the air is as follows: 1. HIV can survive for 15 days in a liquid environment at room temperature. 2. Leave the dried blood at room temperature for 96 hours. 3. The HIV contamination in the quilt is infectious for at least 3 days. Blood with low HIV levels loses vitality after 2 hours of natural drying. HIV has a high blood content, even if dried for 2-4 hours, once placed in the culture medium, it can still enter and replicate when encountering lymphocytes.
