How long can herpes virus last outside the body in a freezer? like if an infected person touches icecube and put it in freezer. how long will it last
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Throw out the ice: Chance of transmitting herpes this way is slim. But you can get more ice. Throw it out if you still have it. Dilution in water inactivates the virus. Labs preserve it a different way.
