How long HPV survives on clothes is related to the temperature of the environment the clothes are in, as well as humidity and other factors. In the daily environment, HPV can survive on dry clothes for up to two days, while wet clothes survive for a relatively long time. If the clothes are soaked in warm water above 50°C for a few minutes, they will die. HPV is an acronym for human papillomavirus, and there are more than 130 subtypes of the virus, which mainly invade the skin and mucous membranes of people, causing many types of warts and cervical mucosa lesions. The virus can be typed by sampling the infection site to provide a basis for clinical diagnosis and treatment.
