Long enough for the police to get a DNA sample!!!

Seminal fluid dries out very quickly when it's outside the body - and once it's dried, the sperm die almost at once.

How quickly it dries depends a lot on what the surface is.

On a human hand, the drying/survival time would be very short.

How long does sperm live when on birth control?

It depends on what birth control method you're referring to. If using hormonal birth control this stops fertile cervical mucus being produced, thus the sperm will not survive for long within the acidic environment of the vagina - a few hours to a few days at most. Obviously if you were using spermicide the sperm wouldn't survive more than around 30 minutes to an hour.
