Hiv from dildo

Hello,

The other day I bought my self a dildo from a local store. I was eager to use it and did not notice that it had already been opened. In my haste I did not even wash it but used a condom before I put it in my mouth. Do STDs live on things like that, it in case the object was used before, am I at risk of HIV or Herpes ? How long do to these virus survive outside the body. Thank you in advance.

You stated that you used a condom on the dildo before you put it in your mouth........NO RISK.

Even if an HIV+ person HAD used the dildo before you, you said you had it for 24 hours before you used it. First of all, after that amount of time the virus would have been rendered inactive from exposure to air and secondly, you said you used a condom=PROTECTED SEX=NO RISK
