In your body, forever.
outside of the human body, in studies I've read:
12 hours under freezing conditions where the virus is literally frozen and then thawed.
on fabrics, it depends on the fabric, some up to 48 hours
water, tap:4 hours given the presence of certain proteins etc.
humid environments mixed with plastic seems to allow a longer survival
the presence of water treating chemicals such as Cl2, seems to allow for much less >0 survival of the virus.
dry conditions, such as on concrete with zero moisture >0
herpes needs very specific conditions to survive outside of the human body but this does not mean it cannot be contracted by non-venereal means.
