Question: What happens to the AIDS virus when the host body dies?
Category: Science > Biology
Keywords: host, body, die, happen, AIDS, HIV, virus
Type: what

    Answer:

The AIDS virus will live until either the cells actually die and decompose, or until (most likely) it is killed by the embalming chemicals used to preserve the body, or by the heat of cremation. Rarely, it might find a new host.
