HPV (human papillomavirus) survival time on the faucet is related to the temperature, room temperature can survive for 1~2 days, if the temperature reaches 55~60 ℃ can only survive for ten minutes.
HPV is more sensitive to temperature, can tolerate low temperatures, at zero degrees or even sub-zero state HPV reproduction ability to enhance the survival time will be relatively long. But HPV can not tolerate high temperatures, 55 ~ 60 ℃ temperature ten minutes to kill HPV, when the temperature reaches 100 ℃, its survival time is shorter, often less than 30 seconds.
So in our daily life, we can kill HPV virus by high temperature, such as the infected person’s personal clothing will be boiled to disinfect. In addition, daily physical exercise and good hygiene habits can effectively prevent HPV infection. If HPV infection occurs, it is necessary to seek timely medical treatment to minimize the spread of the virus.
