Medical Forum / Diseases and Disorders / AIDS / May 2007HIV Prevention -- cleaning up blood
A friend of my son's tried (unsuccessfully, thankfully) to take his own life in my home this morning. There was a lot of blood which we've cleaned up the best we could. I'd like to know how long HIV or hepatitis can live on their own inside a home bathroom. Any information would be much appreciated. TIA, David >A friend of my son's tried (unsuccessfully, thankfully) to take his >own life in my home this morning.

Much like the city's water utility engineer who proclaims the local tap water safe to drink as he sips from a bottle of Dasani. > Hep appears to be more of a problem.

And as with HIV, the doctors will simply charge her $500 to "counsel" her that she is at "low" risk of infection, all while wearing rubber gloves to examine her. > Joe B wrote... >> Sorry to hear of this situation, David- [quoted text clipped - 6 lines] > the report wouldn't dare to touch the blood without protective gear, no > many how propaganda slogans they chant claiming it's harmless. how many scientists go and clear up blood? anyway, that is a case of believing your own propaganda, and hardly a good career move to flout the propaganda see smallpox dangers bollocks http://www.whale.to/v/smallpox2.html >A friend of my son's tried (unsuccessfully, thankfully) to take his > own life in my home this morning.

"If you read the literature very carefully, you will find that, while there is a strong marker for the disease, there is no hard scientific evidence to support the existence of a hepatitis C virus. Clearly, a non-A, non-B hepatitis disease exists, but the science behind an associated virus is weak at best. As a scientist I am compelled to ask, how can we vaccinate people against a disease-causing agent that has not been fully characterized?"---Dr Urnovitz http://www.whale.to/a/hepatitis_tests_h.html
