Transmission through insemination....
I recently found out I’m hiv positive. I was trying to piece together when it could have happened. I narrowed it down to a window period. For the last year we’ve been trying to have a baby. I didn’t realize at the time but the last time i delivered sperm to her it could have been infected. I honestly didn’t know. My question is:
When we used a plastic cup that I cum into and she injects it in her Vagina, what are the chances for her getting the virus?
The cup set out on the table for at least ten minutes after I came Inside of it. And she used a syringe without a needle to inject it into her vagina. What are the chances that she is infected?
Thank you so much for your time!

None of the above scenarios can infect you. If you are recently reported (and reconfirmed) HIV+, this situation is not the one that could cause HIV transmission

Even though my semen was definitely infected? Does the virus become inactive after it’s exposed to the outside air and exposed to the contents of the plastic cup? Thank you very much for your help!
HIV is instantly inactivated in air and also in saliva which means it is effectively dead so it can't infect from touching, external rubbing or oral activities. It doesn't matter if you and she were actively bleeding or had cuts at the time either because the HIV is effectively dead.
Only adult risks are the following:
1. unprotected penetrating vaginal
2. unprotected penetrating anal sex
3. sharing needles that you inject with. Her situation is a long way from any of these 3.
Even with blood, lactation, cuts, rashes, burns, etc the air or the saliva does not allow inactivated virus to infect from touching, external rubbing or oral activities. The above HIV science is 40 years old and very well established so there is no detail that you can add that will make any of her encounter a risk for HIV. No one in 40 years of HIV history got HIV from the situation you are concerned about so it is unlikely that it will happen in the next 40 of your lifetime either.

Is this comment related to my question about insemination or related to another post?
