I found a condom half filled with a fluid
(thought at the time to be water) sitting
on the ice tray in a hotel bar fridge. I
removed it and emptied its contents in the
basin so as to dispose of it.
Later it crossed my mind that a person
could have placed an HIV infection in the
condom with malicious intent.
Assuming the condom contained HIV infected
semen within water how long would the
infection remain active and, if active at
the time of fluid disposal, how long would
it remain active on the basin with just
normal cleaning? Also, how long would the
infection remain active in the condom, I
wrapped it in paper and placed in the
waste bin.
Looking forward to receiving your
professional opinion.
Thank you in anticipation.

The HIV virus dies immediately when
exposed to air so don't worry about it.
