Hello,

this question might sound stupid to some, but when person is hypochondriac then everything is possible. I would like to know for how long the hiv virus can survive outside the body. I have cut myself with a safety pin and I don’t really know if the pin was clean or not. Is there a possibility that I might get some infection?

Thank you for the answer

It's a very very weak virus. I know it sounds crazy, but it's true. It doesn't handle too well outside of the body. Zilch! It's kind of like taking a drop of water and putting it on concrete on a hot day in miami. What immediately happens to the water drop? Get it!

You should not worry!
