Hello,
Thanks for the query to H.C.M. Forum.
As you mentioned in your query that the toy is a new one .
2nd thing is you washed it with hot water and liquid soap .
In my opinion there is no chance of getting any hiv or std from this toy at present .
If uses by many partners without cleaning then there is chance of getting infection.
Take care . Dr. HET
