Brief Answer:
Yes, the virus can't survive out of teh skin!

Detailed Answer:
Hi and thanks for this query.

Your risk of HIV is so tiny and almost inexistent unless you had cuts on your penis. A virus on an intact skin is nothing to fear about. Also, it dies so so quickly when exposed to the environment as it can only survive inside a living cell.

Be calm, relaxed and just be vigilant next before using any materials. Otherwise, there is nothing to bother about.

I wish you well and feel free to follow up and ask for more information and clarifications if need be.

Can i understand like this if there is a big bleeding wound that will cause big trouble, while a small cut without blood and we even can't see it is OK.
