HIV (Human Immunodeficiency Virus) is transmitted through contact with infected blood, semen, vaginal fluid or breast milk. HIV is not able to live outside the body. After exposure to air, HIV dies within a matter of minutes. It is difficult to specify the amount of time HIV takes to die after it exits the body because it is relative to conditions and the amount of fluid present.

Can you die from a stomach virus?
No, you can not die from ANY virus, not even HIV. No virus can kill you as they need the host to survive. However you can die from complications due to a virus, for instance people think they can die from swine flu, this is impossible, but when your immune system is weakened from the virus, some people will develop pneumonia (a bacterial infection of the lungs) and from that you can die. Also if you have any other illness at the time eg heart disease, cancer, lupus or something like that, a virus can weaken you and that first illness can kill you. Ignore the hype, swine flu, bird flu, HIV, the common cold, influenza etc are not fatal. You can not die from any virus, not today not tomorrow it is not possible..
