In a public toilet?There is NO Hiv risk at all from what you describe but you could have waited till you got home.It's not like you had the trots or the runs.

sorry to bother you ,
but i read on CDC site that,
drying of HIV-infected human blood or other body fluids reduces the theoretical risk of environmental transmission to that which has been observed–essentially zero.

but what if semen wet state ?

Even if the semen contains HIV virus, the virus can not in the open air, i mean outside the human body. So the virus become inactive and will not infect you. Please stop thinking about HIV.
