How long can the HPV virus survive on clothing?

The survival time of HPV (human papillomavirus) on clothing varies from a few hours to a few days, and its survival time on clothing is related to the temperature and humidity of the environment. HPV can survive on clothing for 24 to 48 hours at room temperature, and up to a few days if the environment is humid. However, if it is in a high temperature environment of 55~60℃, HPV can only survive for a few minutes to ten minutes. HPV can be transmitted through sex, direct contact, indirect contact (e.g., washing clothes or using towels together), etc. It can not be infected when the body’s immunity is strong, so there is no need to be too anxious. However, if you are infected with HPV, it is recommended that you consult a doctor in a timely manner and follow the doctor’s instructions for treatment in order to minimize the spread of the virus and prevent it from spreading to your family.
