Q: 

How long can sperm live on one's hands?

My boyfriend and I had sex over the weekend, with a condom and IUD (however, the IUD expelled about 3-4 days later). My concern is that he would take off the condom. we'd wait maybe 10-15 minutes, before he would roll on another, and we'd go back at it. how likely is it that some got transferred from him taking off the original condom to putting on the new one?

Hi, Anon.

Thanks for your post.

Sperm does not live outside the body very long - once semen is dry, sperm is dead. Maybe 20 minutes or so.
