Can you get AIDS from a box?

The AIDS virus is very fragile and can only survive a few hours outside of a living host.

Still...an unusual and unsettling packaging choice. But then I've moved with my things packed in hazardous chemical boxes, and have probably shipped out one or two things that way.

As long as it dosen't come from the US Goverment, you should be fine.

You have inspired me for Halloween. Perhaps the next time I pack up an eBay item I should get some "human blood" boxes from the red cross clinic to send it in. Or some "fragile, human organs" sealing tape from the hospital.

But on a serious note, HIV is not a worry from boxes in the mail. Only the hardiest viruses would survive an unprotected cross country trip in the mail, and HIV ain't hardy in the slightest.

Could you find out who they buy this tape from?

I suppose so... why? You want to surprise someone with a specially wrapped present? :ebc:

I'll start a few casual inquiries and see what is what regarding 'biohazard,' 'medical waste' and 'human organs' labelled tape, boxes and so forth.

I have absolutley nothing in mind, but if I had a roll of this tape in my drawer, I just know opportunities would present themselves!
