What Are My Chances Of Getting HIV At This Time?

My friend is a bonified hypochondriac and wants to know whether or not you can get HIV through this situation:His friend needed to pass a drug test, and asked him to let him use some of his pee. So his friend came to his house and gave him a container to pee in. The container was sealed and so he thinks it could have kept the virus alive. I don t know what the hell hes thinking, or how he rationalizes it, but he thinks that his friend who owned the container might of had some HIV in there somehow. Lets just say the guy had stored semen in the container before he used it for this. So anyway, my friend peed in the container (his penis might have touched the inside of it while doing so), and that is where he beleives the contraction might have occured. Is this possible?

Hello,
Thank you for your contact to healthcare magic.
I understand your health concern, if I am your doctor I suggest you that only touching the inside of the container won't cause you HIV. HIV won't live in atmosphere for more than half hour. So the chance of HIV is nil I can say in your case.

I will be happy to answer all your future concern.
Thank you,
Dr Arun Tank

Wish you a best health at health care magic.
