Question

can a person be exposed to hiv by washing his or her clothes with the clothes of an infected person?
a. yes, because the virus stays active in anything it touches for a long period of time
b. yes, because the virus can live in any fluid
c. no, because laundry detergent kills the virus
d. no, because the virus is only contained in certain bodily fluids and survives for a limited time outside of the body
please select the best answer from the choices provided.
a
b
c
d

Explanation:

HIV is mainly transmitted through specific bodily fluids like blood, semen, vaginal fluids, and breast milk. It does not survive well outside the body for a long time. Laundry detergent is not the main reason for no exposure here. Option A is wrong as the virus doesn't stay active for a long time on anything. Option B is incorrect as it can't live in any fluid. Option C gives an incorrect reason. Option D is correct as it correctly states the virus is in certain bodily fluids and has limited survival outside the body.

Answer:

D. no, because the virus is only contained in certain bodily fluids and survives for a limited time outside of the body
