Can hiv virus survive on clothes
If I touch an HIV+ person, is it anyhow possible that I contract this life-threatening disease? I am curious to know whether the HIV virus can survive on clothes or not. Also, what are the primary causes which lead to the spread of HIV virus. A medical student’s inputs on this would perfect. Looking forward to your responses.

No.. There is no chance.. For your information, it generally transmits sexually, blood transfusion, usage of same needle, or from mother to baby if mother gets it before delivery of the baby.. Relax.. You are fine. 👍
