HIV can hardly survive in water. HIV, human immunodeficiency virus, is a virus that causes defects in human immune system, a slow virus that infects cells of human immune system, and a retrovirus.

Aids virus only exists in living cells, and its viability in vitro is extremely poor, and its high temperature resistance is low, so it is difficult to survive without human body. At room temperature, it can only survive in the blood outside the body for a few hours. Sensitive to heat, it loses its activity at 56℃ for 30 minutes, so HIV can hardly survive in water.

Precautions:

There are only three ways of transmission of AIDS, namely, sexual transmission, blood transmission and mother-to-child transmission. There is evidence that HIV is not transmitted through contact, tears, sweat or saliva. Therefore, the following ways will not be infected with HIV: breathing the same air as AIDS-positive patients, touching the toilet or door handle after AIDS-positive patients, hugging, kissing or shaking hands with AIDS carriers, using tableware with AIDS carriers, and using fitness equipment in the gym.

Mosquito bites can be infected with AIDS, and mosquito or other blood-sucking insects can't be infected with AIDS. HIV does not reproduce in mosquitoes. When mosquitoes suck blood, they will not re-inject the blood that has been sucked into the body into the bitten person, but inject saliva as a lubricant to suck blood. Mosquitoes usually don't bite the next individual immediately after sucking blood, but it takes a long time to digest the blood inhaled.
