Hello,
Thank you for your query at DoctorSpring.com
Mucous membranes line cavities which are exposed to the external environment and therfore yes, nostrils are included as part of the mucous membrane.
Studies have proven time and time again that HIV does not survive well outside the human body. Since the concentration of HIV in blood or other bodily fluids is much lower, HIV drying outside the human body virtually eliminates all infectious HIV particles therefore making the risk of HIV infection from blood or bodily fluids outside the body highly unlikely. HIV transmission has not been reported as a consequence of contact with spillages of blood, semen or other body fluids.An exact number of percentage cannot be provided
Hope this helps, feel free to discuss further


Patient replied :

Thank you for your answer. One more question. Unprotected sex is almost main reason for hiv virus transmission. That means that virus get into the body thru mucous membrane which is in pennis or vaginal? Or virus get into the body thru small cut in membrane? I read the article that virus could enter into the body thru intact mucous membrane. If it is true why the transmission rate is so low? In my point of view blood cannot be dried one or two minutes... that means is it possible to get virus thru such kinds of activities? Thank you very much


Hello,
Yes unprotected anal or vaginal sex is the main reason behind the transmission, with ejaculate carrying a lot of viruses. Virus can't enter the body through intact mucous membranes, you're probably referring to other viruses, such as respiratory viruses? HIV needs contact with the blood, or enters in form of ejaculate or body fluids. and that has a major amount of virus.
Once a person is HIV positive, transmission rate is extremely high. Even one such exposure can be dangerous.
Feel free to discuss further,
Regards.
