One older study showed that after 1 to 2 hours in tap water, only 10 percent of the hiv virus was still active. After 8 hours, only 0.1 percent was active. This shows that hiv doesn't survive long when exposed to water. Let's connect over a call so that we can discuss your concern in details and make a suitable treatment plan for you.
