Post Average Lifetime of HIV Virus when exposed to naked environment

Hi,
HIV also spreads if you use blades used by others.
The area of infection is hair cutting saloons & beauty parlours.
I do not belive this..& i will be right if u answer my question.

The average time of survival of a HIV virus is 7 secs when exposed to naked environment.I m sure the usage of used blade from infected person to the other person will surely take more then 7 secs..& by this time the virus will be dead..!
What do u think.?
Is this info correct or i m wrong..!!!

Exclamation

I wouldn't be so quick to rely on a figure of 7 seconds. A lot of information and misinformation is available on the internet, so don't believe everything you read.

All you need to know is that any activity outside of unprotected vaginal, anal, or oral sex, "dirty" needle-sticks or major exposure to blood is theoretical for the transmission of HIV at best.
