Destruction of HIV

Post a new topicby Guest on Thu Sep 05, 2002 12:16 pm


Is it possible to destroy HIV through heating material containing it in an oven? If so, how long does the material have to be in the oven so that HIV can be permanently destroyed?

HIV is destroyed by heat and drying. I don't know how long is necessary ... longer than a minute, less than an hour.
