Hello and thanks for the questions. Based on the research in regards to HIV living on surfaces the science indicates that the virus begins to die immediately once exposed to air. While there is some question about how long HIV can live outside the human body, the facts state it can take from 30 seconds to 3 minutes. It is our recommendation that no person shares personal grooming devises including razors.
How Long Can a Hepatitis Virus Live on Surfaces? The hepatitis A virus is strong and can survive outside the body for months. It can even make it through freezing temperatures. But you may be able to kill it by boiling or cooking foods or liquids for at least a minute. Hepatitis B sticks around on things like tables, razor blades, and blood stains for about a week. Hepatitis C remains on surfaces at room temperature for up to 3 weeks.
