Even if one drinks an HIV infected blood (or semen) of someone (ingest
through Gastro Intestinal track), the virus can not survive in the
acidic pH of stomach*. Highest extent of acidity is 0 (practically not
possible) so imagine 1 as pH which is in our stomach. (This pH can burn
your own finger in less than a second if you dip in that acid).

HIV can never survive in any other liquid* medium also other than blood or semen..

Exposure of less than 1 second in AIR KILLS the HIV virus* (hence story
of needle pricks in Cinema theatres is a crap). Even if blood from a
wound (of infected person) dries up (*blood clot*), *the virus dies*and
can not infect anyone else

HIV transmission is *ONLY* an *INFECTION*
i.e. entrance of virus in one's body. It *DOES NOT MEAN AIDS*.

An HIV-infected person (after entrance of virus) can progress to a condition of AIDS
only after *8 to 10 YEARS *

It is *not HIV (virus) that kills a human* .....the virus attacks
immune cells (cells that fight against foreign pathogens/antigens) and
hence a person's ability to fight against infections & diseases
slowly diminishes and person ultimately dies of a disease which could
be as simple as TB

Most importantly, HIV is no longer a
dreadful disease ... it is "*CHRONIC MANAGEABLE DISEASE*" just like
Diabetes or Hypertension.

If there is anything you need to be
careful from to prevent HIV is Unsafe sex*, *Blood transfusion* (check
before taking) /Blood donation (use sterilized needles only) and any
*blood contact during an accident *or so where amount of bleeding is
very high.
