Survival of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), HIV-infected lymphocytes, and poliovirus in water.

"In addition, blood from stage IV AIDS patients was introduced into tap water, and the recovery of HIV was monitored by using both an infectivity assay and polymerase chain reaction amplification of viral sequences. Virally infected cells were no longer detectable after 5 min in dechlorinated tap water, while little diminution in amplifiable sequences was observed over 2 h. Thus, detection of viral sequences by polymerase chain reaction technology should not be equated with risk of exposure to infectious HIV."
Mind you, this was in dechlorinated water, that was left stagnant at room temperature.

Aestis said:No, it can't. Browse through the thread a little and see 5-7 people including Yobol a third year med student say exactly why, and watch juggs do nothing but say "yes it can"
