Can Herpes live in Toilet Water

My bf dropped his phone in the toilet at applebees. He didnt even wash it off! That was like 9 months ago and I just remembered that we switched batteries since than. I have had to open my phone and handle the battery and now im kinda freaked out! My question is: A- Can Herpes live in toilet water? B- can it live on your cell phone for this long of a time?

I doubt it. I dont know about

I doubt it. I dont know about the toilet water but I am sure it would have died after the phone was dried awhile. They say that it can only servive for a minute or two. Just my opinion. That is pretty gross that he didnt even wash it off!

i know!

wicked gross! ive washed my hnds like fifty million times today over it.... i barely have any skin left! it can survive only a min or two even in water?

I dont know about in water. I

I dont know about in water. I think that it would get too diluted quick. I would wipe it down with some alcohol. I think you'll be ok. I just hope he washed his hands before he ate! Yuck!

Don't worry about it

Don't worry about it. The herpes virus is spread rarely, if at all, by objects such as a toilet seat or hot tub. -- I am a Herpes suffer on herpesLoving . com
