HIV may persist for at least a week in dried blood at 4 Celsius (fridges are usually set between temperatures of 0 to 4°C).
This information can be important for you if your mother is already diagnosed as HIV positive.

If she was the only one using the needle and she doesn't have AIDS then you cant possibly get it..
