HIV and other STD's in water?


can HIV and other STD's live in water for any duration of time or would it dilute out maybe in something like a toilet or bath?
just curious

also are STD's and HIV in feces and urine?

Body fluids carry STD via sexual contact so to answer part 2 first faeces carry infection if come into bodily contact with open sore etc of partner..
Urine I would think that it wouldn't be as much of a risk unless you drank it or bathed in it....

Most STD's will wash away out in open with water but a toilet seat they have a life for a certain time.
Again only if come in contact with fluids to an open sore or crack in skin.cheers
