CAN I GET HIV/ AIDS OR SOME OTHER INFECTIOUS DISEASE BY SITTING ON A PUBLIC TOILET SEAT?

[Anonymous]

Im freaking out! This may sound tmi but i really needed to go (like really bad) while i was out at a resturaunt so i rushed to the bathroom. I didn't have time to cover the seat with toilet paper like usual because i was literally dying. I needed to go. So i sat on the toilet seat for the first time ever. My thighs and butt touched the damn seat. Will i get anything? Im so scared i cnat even sleep. Help! I also feel kind of sick.

Nope. But there are bacteria and germs. AIDS isn't bacteria or germs it's a virus. So the way it's transmitted is not the same. You can get aids from the following, unprotected sex with an infected person with aids, sharing needles if you did drugs or do drugs, or fron contaminated infected blood with the virus during blood transfusion.

Only if you have an open would/cut and you get someone else's bodily fluids in there. You can get other germs like a virus or cold, but you won't get HIV without their bodily fluids getting inside of you.

This is honna sound really tmi again but i shave my butt and i sometimes cut myself there since its hard to see. Omg im scared!

Well if there were someone else's fluids on there it would have been all sticky or slippery wet when you sat down. Was it?

No, you can't get HIV from sitting on a toilet seat. You need to calm down, like a lot.

[foighveoirgho]

Did you shower when you got home? That would've gotten a lot of the germs off.

HIV only by direct mucuous contact. The virus does not survive in the air.
