What is the longest living std in the best conditions outside of the body. ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Define "STD" : I know of at least a dozen diseases that can pass through sexual contact. Hepatitis B is not one usually think of but it can & people have been infected from a needle stick cleaning out a crack house abandoned for a year. Your routine STD's usually die soon after they are outside the body where environmental conditions will not support them. Dry air/heat/simple cleaning kills them.
