1) Dry blood can't transmit HIV.
2) HIV virus can't survive out of the body/host for more than 10 minutes depending on the volume of the blood and the temperature.
3) However, on the dry blood there maybe other kinds of bacteria that might be lingering around.
Hope that answers your questions.

Does HIV stay alive in dried blood?
HIV will not survive long outside the body; in most cases if the blood is completely dry, the virus is dead.
Will cold kill HIV?
The HIV virus will die immediately it is exposed to the air. So there is no danger from dried blood or dried semen. Cold will not kill HIV. It actually stabilizes it. If stored at extremely low temperatures, HIV can "live" for months.

Is dried blood dangerous?
No. Dangerous viruses die in high-oxygen areas. There have been no cases of people getting infected with HIV or hepatitis through dried blood. These viruses are too weak and cannot survive without a host, which dies when the blood dries.
If someone with HIV scratches you in your eye and draws your blood and they have dried blood sweat or saliva on their fingernails can you become infected?
The way that an HIV infection occurs is through a fluid-blood contact. If the HIV-infected person had none of their blood on their fingernail, your chances of infection are zero. Fluids that carry a high titer of HIV include blood, semen, vaginal fluids and breast milk. Fluids of the nervous system and joints also contain a high concentration of HIV, but t is very unlikely to come in contact with these fluids outside of the health care industry. HIV is transmitted thru warm blood to blood contact with someone who has the HIV virus thats it there is no other way.
Is there any risk of infection from dried blood?
NO, any virus including HIV or Hepatitus does not live once it is outside the body till dry.
