Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
HIV virus is transmitted through genital intercourse especially if contact with cut or blood. It can't resist outside the body, so cannot get infected that way.
Hope I have answered your query.
Let me know if I can assist you further.
