A member asked:
I bought a sex toy called a fleshlight online,i am afraid if someone else with hiv had used it previously.will it transmit hiv?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: HIV is a fragile germ and dies easily outside its internal/blood environment. It could never survive for the length of time needed to travel through the outside/delivery time frame. If you take a steamer (cleaning tool) and use it on all exposed surfaces it can kill any other germs that might be present.
