can HIV survive in an enclosed area?
1 month plus ago i brought an Onahole [a japanse artificial vagina sex toy, similar to a fleshlight but kind of different], and av actress scented water base lube from an local sex shop. I was told it was new, so when i got home i causally washed it a toy cleaner powder, but i am unsure if i did clean it well enough, tried to fit a towel to try dry the inside abit before lubing and using it.
Afew days later {more then 3 days after using the toy}, i suddenly had a though, what if someone with HIV had used my onahole or contaminated my lube. my question is: am i at risk of HIV if someone with HIV did used it.
Since:
1) the onahole is quite heavy not sure if the weight itself will close down on the tunnle as a result if there was HIV+ semen/blood can be traped inside? As such i should consder it like a needle condition, since the tunnle itself might weight itself down?
2) i am unsure if i did clean it well enough, so can i assume i did not wash it? As such is the HIV still active enough to infect me?
3) If someone contaminated the AV scented lube, wwith say HIV+ blood/semen/whatever, can HIV still remain active to infect me due to me using the lube with the sex toy.
PS: An Onahole is kind of like a fleshlight, but with afew differences.
If i am at risk should i take an HIV blood test?
1) it does not have a hole at the end. So air do not so call pass through it.
2) its not a through hole like a fleshlight, so its shaped like an actual vagina internal.

That's not an enclosed area. You're misunderstanding what that word means.
You can only be infected by unprotected anal or vaginal sex with an infected human being or by sharing drug needles with an infected user. Because the HIV virus is so fragile that any exposure to the environment will cause the outer shell of the virus to break down and unable to attach to a living host. The inside of your toy is not an air tight environment. Not by any stretch.
Furthermore, sex toys are not returnable once purchased because the sex toy industry is not stupid and they know it's unhygienic to allow returns on items that people shove inside themselves or shove parts of themselves inside of. It's paranoid and irrational to assume that you purchased a returned item because those items are not returnable once purchased.

o ok thanks, so basically, its very unlikely.
Only sex risks for HIV are unprotected vaginal or anal insertive into the human body sex.
HIV was inactivated outside the body on your toy. Otherwise everyone in America would get it from toilet seats, towels, food etc. it would be front page news if any baby got it this way.
You had zero risk.
