* HIV can *never survive in any other liquid* medium also other than
blood or semen (& please for God sake ... never in Pani Puri wala pani)
* Even if one drinks an HIV infected blood (or semen) of someone
(ingest through Gastro Intestinal track), the virus can not survive in
the acidic pH of stomach*. Highest extent of acidity is 0 (practically not
possible) so imagine 1 as pH which is in our stomach. (This pH can burn
your own finger in less than a second if you dip in that acid).
* Exposure of less than 1 second in AIR KILLS the HIV virus*(hence
story of needle [no swearing please]s in Cinema theatres is a crap). Even if blood from a wound (of infected person) dries up (*blood clot*), *the virus
dies* and can not infect anyone else
* HIV transmission is *ONLY* an *INFECTION* i.e.entrance of virus inone's body. It *DOES NOT MEAN AIDS*.
* An HIV-infected person (after entrance of virus) can progress to a
condition of AIDS only after *8 to 10 YEARS * (not in 15 days as in the
Pani Puri story)
* It is *not HIV (virus) that kills a human* .....the virus attacks
immune cells (cells that fight against foreign pathogens/antigens) and
hence a person's ability to fight against infections & diseases slowly
diminishes and person ultimately dies of a disease which could be as
simple as TB
* Most importantly, HIV is no longer a dreadful disease ... it is
"*CHRONIC MANAGEABLE DISEASE*" just like Diabetes or Hypertension.
* If there is anything you need to be careful from to prevent HIV is
*Unsafe sex*, *Blood transfusion* (check before taking) / Blood donation
(use sterilized needles only) and any *blood contact during an accident*
or so where *amount of bleeding is very high.
