A member asked:
Can hiv and hep b, hep c viruses still active and contagious after about 10 hours on nails clippers and the clippers were rubbed into the lemon and rinsed with water before using?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No, these viruses cannot survive those conditions. But it really doesn't matter: nobody has ever caught HIV from clippers, razors, or other shared cosmetic equipment. (The most important reason for disinfection is not to prevent these viruses, but to lower the risk of staph and other skin bacteria.)
