Aids virus cannot survive outside human system or It needs blood to survive, but if blood is mixed with water then AIDS virus cannot survive. If blood is added to water then any and all blood cells will burst in water because of osmosis. The cells will take water from surrounding and swell up and burst. Some bacteria will survive in water if water is contaminated with feces. So always boil water before drinking.

All viruses are OBLIGATE INTRACELLULAR Microorganisms.. They need to be inside cells to survive, and AIDS is not an exception... They need CELL to CELL transfer.. so the exposure of AIDS virus in the environment will ultimately kill it...

No. Even though HIV/AIDS is an extremely dangerous virus, it is also very weak and vulnerable. It has a great deal of trouble surviving outside the human body. It survives in blood as that is its natural medium, but would not survive in water.
