Please give me an answer

HIV is not transmitted by towels or clothing. Even if there is some body liquid(blood or semen) on the towels or clothing and use it to wipe the penis with new wound,but no bleeding? is there still no risk?

No. HIV can't live in in.animate objects. That's the reason why there is no transmission from towels, door knobs and etc... relax, you had no risk from that incident.

Thank you very much!Even if the towels and clothing are wet or are freezed(because in winter wet towels or clothing may freezed).I know docter says "Drying, room temperature and dilution with other  liquids would all kill the virus" .But I'm afraid the cold temperature and wet enviroment would make hiv live longer.

yes there is none. HIV dont survive in a split of a second in the atmosphere. Once it's outside from the host it becomes in.active.
