Hi, HIV is transmitted via body fluids especially blood of infected patients to a human subjects in contact with the body fluids of the infected patient provided the receptors for the establishments are there. AIDS spreads through body fluids(eg. Blood or semen). It can't spread by air or food.

The Centre for Disease Control(CDC) states that the HIV virus can't survive long outside the human body. And if by chance ingested(by consumption of infected blood and not through food - hypothetical situation), it would be destroyed by the digestive juices (HCl in the stomach).

Great answers Immanuel I agreed ... But what if the person has sores on mouth, throat or tongue who by chance taking a food contaminated with blood containing the viruses.... As the CDC says there is possibility of transmission by wet kissing where saliva contains less load of viruses... ???

Virus could survived, even in frozen. Melting glaciers could bring unknown thousands of year old virus.

I agree with Dr.desai answer ... As we all know the virus can survive in extreme conditions and in case of retro or herpes or hepdnaviruses which can't survive outside the host but may survive if the fresh blood containing virus contminates the fruit or soft drinks where the moisture is protecting the blood cells from drying but may not proliferate anymore as it does in RE system of human.. the chemical preservatives may also have some effects on the virus and .. Still these virus carrying blood cells will survive and infect the consumers or it won't it was the question?? And none of the microbiologist or infection or epidemiologist gave scientific reasons here.. This question may be a vague one but sure to bring awareness among the laymen or undeducted poor people who are at risk... Will avoid the scary messages received through social media or to take care of themselves from the risky infections ... That was the intention of my question... But it obvious everywhere that none will answer to the questions which will bring good for the public but we will ask look for popularity or scores from where we will get there only we react.. What a great scientific society we are associated with? I salute all..

Interesting insights here. The HIV virus is basically a genetic material which is very stable and only needs favorable conditions for replication, I have read reports of viable virus being recovered from corpses, this may need more research but worth considering.

Dear Researcher,

According to the fact which Only certain body fluids—blood, semen (cum), pre-seminal fluid (pre-cum), rectal fluids, vaginal fluids, and breast milk—from a person who has HIV can transmit HIV. These fluids must come in contact with a mucous membrane or damaged tissue or be directly injected into the bloodstream (from a needle or syringe) for transmission to occur. Mucous membranes are found inside the rectum, vagina, penis, and mouth,I can say it's not possible due to HIV does not survive long outside the human body (such as on surfaces), and it cannot reproduce outside a human host.

Same story for bnana or orange in US and other country as per below link:

You can’t get HIV from consuming food handled by someone with HIV. Even if the food contained small amounts of HIV-infected blood or semen, exposure to the air, heat from cooking, and stomach acid would destroy the virus.

Though it is very rare, HIV can be spread by eating food that has been pre-chewed by someone with HIV. The contamination occurs when infected blood from a caregiver’s mouth mixes with food while chewing. The only known cases are among infants.

But if someone has cheating friend or husband or business competitor in the food industry can make such a story and spread it on social media for revenge purpose.
