If sperm was accidentally left on a bar of soap from cleaning hands which had sperm on them, then I rinsed the soap under sink water for a couple seconds, could sperm still be on the soap bar and potentially be able to fertilize about 12 hrs later?

A member asked:
I touched sperm with my hands and then washed it with soap and water one time. I may have touched the faucet before washing with the sperm. I wanted to know how long can sperm stay on the faucet and is it possible someone else can have sperm on them?
