Does alcohol kill hpv virus

Medical alcohol disinfection has been popular in daily life, especially in the epidemic stage of major diseases. So, for viral infections such as syphilis, HIV, HPV, etc., can 75-degree alcohol eliminate them instantly?

First of all, everyone is familiar with syphilis. The Chinese name of hiv is AIDS, and the Chinese name of hpv is human papillomavirus infection. These three viral infections are all classified as sexually transmitted viruses, and sexual contact is one of their key transmission routes.

Treponema pallidum virus infection is relatively sensitive to high temperature and dry environment, and will die in a dry environment within 1-2 hours after leaving the body. It will die in 1 hour in a natural environment of 41 degrees Celsius, 10 minutes at 56 degrees Celsius to eliminate it, and only 1 minute at above 60 degrees Celsius. Under the effect of 75-degree alcohol, it will last for 10-15 minutes.

HIV virus has poor survival in the natural environment outside the human body and cannot withstand high temperatures. The HIV virus after paraffin section can only survive in the blood for a few hours, and it can be killed by high temperature of 56 degrees Celsius for 30 minutes. Virus infection can be inactivated in just 5 minutes under the action of 75-degree alcohol, 0.3% hydrogen peroxide and 0.1% bleach.

HPV infection is highly contagious and has strong viability after paraffin sectioning. It can survive for several months in the living environment, persist for 3-5 days at 40 degrees Celsius, be killed in 30 minutes at 50-60 degrees Celsius, and be killed in a few seconds at 100 degrees Celsius. It is relatively sensitive to ultraviolet light and 84 disinfectant, but 75-degree alcohol cannot completely eliminate it.

To sum up, 75-degree alcohol cannot kill the virus in an instant. Therefore, if you need to disinfect these types of viruses in your daily life, you must choose the appropriate disinfection method according to the characteristics of the virus itself.
