Can you actually mail HIV? I had heard that the virus dies quickly outside of the body.

A man mailed his HIV-infected blood to Obama. Terrible! But would that even work? Doesn't HIV die quickly outside of the body? http://www.foxnews.com/politics/first100days/2009/02/27/chicago-man-arrested-allegedly-targeting-obama-hiv-infected-blood/

You heard it well - a HIV virus cannot survive on its own outside the body - it gets destroyed within a few seconds when exposed to air.
