While hep c can live on surfaces for long periods of times this is on undisturbed surfaces so really like a Petri dish in a laboratory.

Also if hep c was easily contracted there would be far more people infected.

I did touch parts of the basket, and now I am freaking out that if there was a STD virus that can live in blood and surfaces for almost a week such as Hepatitis, then the virus could have been transferred to my keys and work uniform, and then spread to other stuff in my house.

is there a chance I am infected? How long does the virus live for outside of the body? Thanks very much!!

So when you give a handjob, a few things matter - first, the skin on your hands is too thick for the virus to infect. If there is virus on your hand, after the movement, the exposure to air, time, touching other things, etc., it degrades enough that it is unable to infect anything. Effectively, it dies and is unable to infect. If you touch an outbreak, don't touch your eyes or mouth or nose immediately after. That's all you need to worry about.
