A member asked:
Hello, can hep b positive sperm survive outside the human body on an inanimate object? , if so for how long? how long before it is inactive and no longer infectious?

Sperm dies immediately when semen dies. Probably nobody ever has gotten pregnant by this sort of contact and you're not likely to be the first. Don't worry about it.
