Afraid of blood outside
I know hiv inside of blood become inactive instantly once blood exposed to air. But if this is related to blood volum or quantity，if there is so much blood outside in air，the hiv inside of blood still become inactive instantly？ I am afraid of blood outside these days.

It does not matter how afraid you are. Blood outside of the body is NEVER a risk for HIV.
You have been advised by multiple other members in the past, but I will say it one last time:
If you do not have unprotected anal or vaginal sex with someone of unknown HIV status, and if you do not share intravenous needles with other people, you will NEVER have to worry about HIV.

Really thanks. May be i am so anxious these days. Do you mean we don't need to worry the blood outside no matter how much the blood have？thanks again.
NO. There is NO reason to worry about blood at all. Please seek help for this irrational phobia. We are not an anxiety support group, and we cannot keep reassuring you that blood is not a risk.
Ok got it. really thanks.
