NO: HIV will NOT LIVE on non-living surfaces for long...and certainly not in sufficient quantities to cause HIV infection! If you have a lot of anxiety about this GET TESTED ...no HARM! Hope this helps Dr Z

I had an encounter with a sex worker. I sucked on her breast while she gave me a long hand job. I also sucked on her toes while she did this. Will I get HIV from this?
