A member asked:
Can hand sanitizer with 70% ethyl alcohol kill sperm cells on my hands immediately on contact? will it kill all of them? how fast does it kill them?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Hand sanitizer: Hand sanitizer helps reduce bacteria on your hands, but doesn't sterilize them completely. Soap and water is more likely to clear semen from your hands.
