HPV on objects

[Anxious32]

How long can HPV live on an object/outside of body? For example, a sex toy?

already told you no dear.

so there is no possible chance that i have hpv again?

[sookie18]

o its been setting around 6 months to a year

[gracefromHHP]

if it's been sitting around longer than 24 hours, nothing std is going to be a concern. Other bacteria might be an issue but not the std type infections.

[sookie18]

so when the fluid is dry on the toy does that mean the virus is dead and cant be revived when reused?

[sookie18]

thanks very much cause i dont want hpv again was hard enough getting rid of it the first time

[gracefromHHP]

you aren't going to give yourself hpv back from using your sex toy.

[sookie18]

is that true that you cant get the hpv virus off a sex toy? i had hpv a year ago its now cured i used my toy six months to a year then i used it recenty i forgot if i cleaned it or not so i didnt clean it before i used it so i can get hpv again from the toy?

Most things die when they dry, so if everything had dried on the sex toy, you aren't at any risk.
