This is so embarrassing that this fear of illness has taken over to the point where I need to post for reassurance to something I probably already know the answer to but I seriously cannot get these thoughts out of my head. So here goes.
I went out with my friend this evening to a pub, that sadly was a bit of a dive. Just not very clean and I really don't do well in those environments. I braved using the toilet as I was desperate and they were just dreadful - those horrible outdoor toilets you get in dodgy pubs. Anyway, the toilet seat was a bit weird and as I sat down I misjudged and a certain part of me touched the seat. Didn't think anything of it until I came out and my brain suddenly started to think about HIV and STDs, mainly HIV. I know that catching it from a toilet seat is a myth but I'm scared that it's different if your bits actually come into contact with the seat, I literally cannot stop thinking about this and I'm gradually getting into more and more of a state. Desperate for some reassurance please!
