Hiv from sex toy

Hello. I bought a new dildo. When it comes, i didnt use it for 4 days. After 4 days i cleaned id by 70% alcohol and next i boiled it for 15 min. Is it possible to get hiv if someone use it before me. I'm not sure if anyone has used it and returned to the store.

The only risks for HIV in adults are:
1) Having unprotected anal or vaginal sex, or
2) sharing intravenous needles with IV drug users.


There isn't any other situation that you can think of that would put you at risk for HIV.  HIV fluid on objects is not infectious.  You had ZERO risk for HIV and you don't need a test.
