This is a very difficult question to answer because although HIV is usually always transmitted either sexually or from sharing syringes it can be transmitted if 2 people both had large open wounds and the wounds came together but this is not common and has rarely ever occurred.HIV can't survive on fomities like door handles or toilet seats nor does it survive outside the body.Hope this info has helped you.

1.I want to know  the hiv  outside the world How long will lose energy? or Not infect humans.Some people say that In an instant by in vitro lost vitality.but  Others said  Will survive for a period of time.

The exact amount of time it takes the virus to become completely inactive varies with each situation depending on environmental variables.  The process of the virus becoming damaged happens right away, which is why the virus quickly loses its ability to infect.  So, in other words, this isn't something you need to be worried about.

2.If we touch the blood from the outside.Rubbing your eyes or eating Infect?

Absolutely not.  If it was possible for HIV to be transmitted in this manner, the whole world would be infected.  HIV isn't transmitted like this.

3.the hiv Will survive outside of public facilities? For example: on the handle, the tap on.

See answer for number 3, same answer.

4.the hiv  How long live in the air? 5 the hiv How long live in the water?

This is the same question as number one, re-worded.  See answer to number 1.

It's VERY simple, in order to EVER have an HIV risk, you would have to either have unprotected vaginal or anal sex with an infected person OR you would have to share IV drugs with an infected person.

You cannot get HIV in any other way, certainly not from items in the environment, hence why HIV is classified as and STD and blood borne illness.

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
