HIV survival
I am read that experts in this forum always say HIV dies when exposed to air. But why do some people get hov when they have organ transplants? Isn't the organ exposed to air?
All organ donors are screened for HIV before an organ is donated. The risk of contracting HIV from this type of exposure is remote. It is same as blood transfusions now are also screened very closely for HIV. These are both very rare if they happen at all anymore.
When they talk about exposed to air, they usually refer to airborne. You don't contract HIV like you do with colds/flu. HIV just CANNOT be transmitted airborne at all.
Well wouldn't there be layers of vaginal fluids. So the top og the fluids would gave inactive HIV, but deeper would be active.
thinking its right but...
empirical data show virus in the fluids is not capable of infecting after air contact

Well I don't know about that. They put some organs in ice you know. From what the guys at this forum been saying, temp changes also renders the virus inactive. So it makes you wanna think.
exterior parts of the organ by sure
buy it also has a lot of interior capilars and many other sources that are not exposed to air
