HIV from blood on toilet seat

Hi everyone,

I am sure I am fine, but just wanted some reassurance before I start getting obsessed! Over the weekend I stopped off at services and used the toilet. As I was leaving the cubicle I noticed blood on toilet seat and around the rim of the basin. It wasn't a huge amount.

Could I catch HIV from this? I am trying to be reasonable about the fact the person probably didn't have HIV etc. but you know what it is like being a Health Anxiety sufferer!!!!

Many thanks.

:)

Please don't fret any more. The HIV virus doesn't live for very long outside the human body and I bet that you didn't go anywhere near the blood anyway when you sat down.
You have nothing to worry about. HIV cannot be caught from toilet seats.

Thanks Jane, you know what it's like when you get a bee in your bonnet about something to do with health!!

Thanks for replying and have a good day. x

yeah i would say your chances of contracting hiv from that were severely minimal too non existent but if you feel its going too worry you wait 3 months then book an appointment at your local g.u.m clinic te results should be back in just over a week and you can rest .... i say 3 months because there is a 3 month window period where tests might not pick up the virus etc etc good luck

hiv blood on you is nothing to worry about
it had to be blood to blood dont worrry
god bless
