Am I Scared Over Nothing?
Hey, I need to know if I am worried for a good reason or not. I was in Vegas with the family and we were at the pool, and I got this boner that wouldn't go away, so I decided to jack it off really quickly in the public restroom. I sat down in the stall and did it really quick, but that night I got flu/cold symptoms and a fever. That was Tuesday, I was in bed all day Wednesday and Thursday I felt a bit better. But now I feel a bit down again. I'm pretty scared I might have gotten HIV from the toilet, but I'm not sure.
I have a fever, sore throat, a stuffy nose and a cough. Am I infected?

Thank you, I feel much better now.
you had NO risk
Thank you for your responses, so it's a coincidence that I just came down with a flu bug and I'm all worked up over nothing?
I understand that, but what if the person that used it before me left some bodily fluid on the toilet and they were infected? Sorry, I'm a bit ignorant about HIV.
If someone can get HIV from a toilet then there would be no public restrooms.
