Wandering????????

I was wandering about all of myths about it and wanted them to be cleared, ok so............
Can you contract it from masterbation, not you, but if your partner is doing it for you?
Is it true that once the virus hits the air its dead?
If someone that is infected saliva get in your eye,( for example like if they are talking to you) could you catch it?
Can you catch it eating after someone?
Is it true that you can only catch it through sexual intercourse and drug usage?
Can you catch it even if you have a condom on?
Can you catch it during oral sex? If so what is the possibility?

These are not necessarily my situations, I just want to know for information sake. Could someone help me out?
