: How long can the virus live outside the human body?
Y.R.G.CARE - FAQs

The Human Immunodeficiency Virus is fragile. Once the virus is outside the body in a dry form, it dies immediately. Even in a wet state, it does not live long when exposed to heat, detergents, or disinfectants. When stored in blood banks at 4掳C, it can live for about 3 weeks (or longer), or till the white cell disintegrates, but in a frozen state it can survive for years


Hey dont worry ok, God is with you!! take care xxx

If the glass was contaminated with blood and still fresh (i.e. not dry) and you step on it and you got a bleeding cut which mean the fresh blood mixed with your blood...then you MAY get infected. however from all statistics and shows and learning centers, the chances might be minimal. in order to be assured, check yourself and see a doctor for a medical advise.

4 ways you can transmit HIV/AIDS:
vaginal fluid
semen
breast milk
blood

If your foot came in contact with another person blood which was on the bottle up to 20 min. earlier then yes that could be possible but very unlikely.
