does HIV in semen die when it touches plastic ?

ok so i posted a few days ago reguarding a risk i had , i was smoking a hooka or shisha at a cafe, and then the tip of it what sliperry, it looked like semen , so i wiped it very gently me thinking it was water or sumthing. now you guys said that i didnt have a risk because the hiv dies when touching objects, but what about semen, does it die only when it is dry? and same goes for stds

so

1) does semen have to be dried in order for the hiv virus to die ?
2) why didnt i have a risk ?
3) what about stds?

thanks , im freakin out like crazy, this vacation sucked so much from this , i kept thinking about it so much.

1) No
2) Several reasons...1 is probably that it was not seman but more important is that HIV is not transmitted outside of the body. The virus would have been deactivated.
3) Post in the STD forum.

You are way over thinking this. Maybe seeing a therapist would help because this really is irrational anxiety thinking.

Hiv becomes inactive and unable to infect once outside its living host,that includes hiv in semen.You never had a risk and don,t require any testing.All the best.

Ok and how long does it take for HIV virus to die, I used the hookah 30-60 seconds after he prepared it for me. And after I wiped the hookah from the tip using a napkin, I used the same napkin to wipe my lips afterwards, is that a risk ? Thank u so much in advance I trust your advice very much ? I promise this is the last question

HIV IS NOT TRANSMITTED FROM ENVIRONMENTAL SURFACES OR INANIMATE OBJECTS.

END OF STORY ! ! !

Even if I started using the hookah 30-60 seconds after he gave it to me ?
