But, as we ve learned earlier, the AIDS virus, HIV, lives only in blood or in body fluids that contain blood. There is no danger of catching the AIDS virus from being around people who may be infected unless there is blood present. In a situation where there might be blood or some other infectious fluids around, after the blood or other fluid is exposed to the air and dries out, the virus is usually destroyed.
