Can hiv survive on surfaces. After 4 hours old blood I touched the blood by my feet and changed the underwear during that my feet touches the underwear and I wear it. There is a possibility of hiv transmission from feet to underwear and underwear to my penis?

Hiv cannot live outside the body for more than a few minutes even in optimum conditions. Once blood is dried ,even if it becomes wet again ,hiv will not become infectious again.
