Viable hiv

I heard that HIV is unable to reproduce outside it's host and hence no longer infectious. Buthow long does that take? How long does it take for it to no longer be viable?

I know there has been no reported cases of HIV through mutual masturbation, but more than 50,000 get infected a year in u.s. How do we really know?

What you say seems to run in contradiction with the doctor's post and you are not going to respond to it?

The worst part is that I had not kissed a girl in a while and I don't cough mucus so it can't be those types of infections.

My symptoms are really bad. Swollen lymph nodes, fever, some headaches. In addition, the inside of my throat looks a little red with one of the nodes in the back oh my throat red and bigger then the other. The nodes right my ear are still inflated. Had a couple of night sweats but, but it was not soaking wet, except my general area was wetter. Have not been able to eat, loss of appetite, but little diareah but then again I was not eating much.
