How long can hiv survive on a surface (eg. vibrator) in a closed, dark, dry environment like a drawer?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No time at all, once the blood or fluid carrying HIV has dried. And it doesn't matter anyway: regardless of whether or not HIV might survive, nobody in the world ever has caught HIV by contact with a contaminated environment. No worries!
