The transmission of AIDS by toothbrushes is basically zero. How long will the hiv virus on the toothbrush die?

AIDS is a communicable but incurable disease. Aids is difficult to cure, which directly affects daily life, work and interpersonal communication. Some people have used AIDS patients' toothbrushes for fear of being infected with HIV. I heard that the toothbrush infection rate of AIDS is basically zero, because HIV will die soon when it comes into contact. How long will the hiv virus on the toothbrush die?

The transmission of AIDS by toothbrushes is basically zero, which is true in theory. There are three main ways of transmission of AIDS, namely blood, mother-to-child and sex. Indirect contact with toothbrushes is not the transmission route of AIDS. Normal people and AIDS patients use toothbrushes without worrying about getting infected with AIDS.

Some people worry that toothbrushes used by AIDS patients will be infected with HIV. In fact, HIV is exposed to the air and its adaptability to the environment is weak. It can't withstand high temperature or dryness, and may die soon. If the toothbrush can be kept dry and hot, it will be inactivated. The surface hiv virus will be inactivated at 56℃ for more than 30 minutes.

Of course, normal people had better not use AIDS patients' toothbrushes. If the toothbrush accidentally touches the blood of AIDS patients, it is in a humid and low temperature state, and then it is used by normal people, and the oral mucosa of normal people happens to be damaged and cracked, which will lead to the risk of HIV infection.
