What Is The Survival Time For The Virus Outside The Human Body?
Hi, I am on my 20th week of pregnancy, no history of detection of cmv. Yesyerday, I played with a girl and her saliva stayed on my hand (I forgot to wash the hands). About 5-10 minutes later, when her saliva was dryied out, I touched my nose with my hand. What is the chance to get cnv this way? How much time can the virus survive in dry saliva on my hand?
Thank you
Thank you
