After leaving the body, the HPV virus can usually survive on clothing for 24 to 48 hours, about half an hour if the clothing is in a dry and hot environment, and about 2-3 months if the clothing is in an environment of minus 20°C. The longest period of time may extend to a few days or so. Its survival time in clothing is related to the temperature and humidity of the environment. These survival times are related to the room temperature, and if the virus is in an environment of 55 degrees to 60 degrees, it will undergo a qualitative change and it can be killed in a few minutes to ten minutes.
You should be careful to keep your intimate apparel clean on a daily basis.HPV is also known as human papillomavirus. High-risk HPV is the main cause of cervical intraepithelial neoplasia and cervical cancer, while low-risk HPV is a common cause of warts, both of which can be transmitted directly through sexual intercourse.
If HPV infection is found in a family member’s sexual relationship, it should be actively treated to avoid infection.
1. clothing: HPV virus in vitro survival time is not long, especially in the high temperature and dry environment of the survival time is shorter. Washing clothes and drying them in a hot and dry environment can effectively remove HPV virus and prevent contact invasion of HPV virus.
2. Disinfectant water: Using disinfectant water to soak clothes, disinfectant water can inactivate proteins, which can make HPV virus inactive and lose pathogenicity, thus serving the purpose of killing HPV virus on clothes.
3. Ultraviolet disinfection: the irradiation of ultraviolet light makes the core genetic material of the virus shell protein denatured and inactive, so that the virus does not have the ability to cause disease and lose the ability to infect.
