Hiv In Drops
Posted: 04-22-06 09:36am

I'm having some problems with my eyes and I am using medicine drops for my eyes. So, I was wondering is it possible these drops to contain hiv?
For example if there is any track of blood of hiv+ person there.
And can hiv survive in any liquid substance like drops, water etc?

I'm sorry, but your post shows an enourmous lack of knowledge about how hiv is spread, and an irrational fear of the virus.

If you don't share needles, give unprotected oral sex to a man or have unprotected anal/vaginal sex, you will not get hiv.

It does not lurk around in places waiting to infect you.

Please, I urge you to educate yourself. Please visit these sites:

Yes, I certainly know the most spread ways to infect. My unusual question was not because of the lack of knowledges, but because of the confusing and different information I found out in internet about the virus outside the human body. Some expert says hiv just dies when it is outside the body, other says it must be in contact of air to die. Some say it needs 40 seconds to die when exposed to air, other say it takes several hours. I don't know what of this is true. And if a blood of hiv+ person has taken place in the tube of my eye drops, then it will not have a contact with air, so - may take hours or days for the virus to die. Don't you think so?

Fsb, you're really reaching. How do you think hiv got into your drops? You have a lot more to learn as finess150 indicated.

I just give the facts terry, which you don't have anything to back yourself up with. I guess we can contribute it to your lack of knowledge.

Is this true??? If so how can needles still infect ppl if thy have been in contact or exposed to air?

Because blood still remains in the needle, only a small amount but thats all you need.
