How long hpv virus(genitals) survive on surface? like on sxtoys, underwear, toilet bowl, finger, razor, bedsheet etc.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Nobody really knows: Nobody knows how long HPV viruses survive on real-life inanimate surfaces. We vaccinate, and don't worry about objects transmitting such viruses unless the humans have such viruses and are intentionally getting viruses onto the objects.
