HIV is unable to reproduce outside its living host (unlike many bacteria or fungi, which may do so under suitable conditions), except under laboratory conditions; therefore, it does not spread or maintain infectiousness outside its host.

HIV is transmitted by;
Unprotected penetrative anal and/or vaginal sex
Sharing works with other IV drug users
Mother to child

actually the time between she clean her vagina and helped clean my penis was only about 10 sec. in such a short period, will i get a bigger chance? and I have read your other comments from other posts. You mentioned HIV cannot reproduce outside Host. is that only HIV can transmitted while your penis is inserted (under sexual way?thanks
