Good Morning,

I was advised to my ask my question on these broads, concerning if the HIV virus can be killed using the Oven ? At temperatures and duration of 1hour @ 160 °C (320 °F) ? Would that kill the Virus if its in an Oil solution ?

Please advise,

Thank You.

Not only would it kill it, it would demolish the virus.

Yes, definitely, the proteins would denature, the viral envelope would disintegrate, the outer proteins would literally melt, and there would be no chance that it could reassemble once the heat has been removed.

Hope that covers it lol

Reading from this PDF supplied by WHO World Health Organisation, http:// whqlibdoc.who.int/aids/WHO_AIDS_2.pdf

Mentions to 2 hours 170c (340F) .

So 1 hour is effective enough ?

In deed. It's like the equivalent of a human being standing next to the sun Face with Stuck-out Tongue

But seriously, it's not like an endospore or something, it's a single virion. I agree with the two individuals above.
