yes but unfortunately it takes 3 days. if you touch the surface with an open wound and with a wet area like a hand etc, you have a small risk of being exposed. Hepatitis c lives on the surface 7 days.

No. HIV is passed through body fluids. Even if you were to have a cut on your hand and put your hand on someone's blood that has it, you can become infected. This is why medical personnel wear rubber gloves when treating anyone.

It does not survive being dried out, or even a drop in temperature.
Its ability to spread lies mostly in the ten-year asymptomatic period and the extreme high-risk behavior of those who tend to get it.
