Sir I want to know that how long can hiv (virus) can survive in a edta/citrate blood phial/vial/test tube if preserved in a refrigerator for more than 15 days at average 7 degree celsius and can it survive in a saline water as I mix blood with saline water to identify its group. Pls help me.

Dear user. Thanks for the question. Hiv spread through contact between broken skin, wounds, or mucous membranes and hiv-infected blood or blood-contaminated body fluids. Deep, open-mouth kissing if both partners have sores or bleeding gums and blood from the hiv-positive partner gets into the bloodstream of the hiv-negative partner. Hiv can not spread through saliva. Take care.
