Hiv Scared- Redicolous Anxiety

[blackcase]

Hello guys- I know this seems crazy, but I can't seem to get it off my mind and I'm scared.

I have never had intercourse at all; however, I'm afraid of contracting HiV through the restrooms..

Now I have heard that people dont contract HiV through the restrooms- because for the most part- toilets are clean, the water is cleaner then fountain water, and hiv cannot live outside in the air for more then 20 seconds...

However, sometimes when Im constipated, i use a laxative just toilet paper in the butt  really quick to get the **** out. I know sick huh. Anyways- sometimes I get an anal fissure it seems- bleeding that is. Could I possibly contract hiv through toilet paper and or the toilet? Im really scared, cuz I have done this *thing* for the past year or so...

Im so dumb.. I havent even had sex, and in college I have had microbiology.

I mean I should be smart and just say to myself that even if there was blood on the toilet paper i used- it would dry the cell out through osmosis, and other various factors thus the hiv virus would die out really quickly, since its host is not in any condition to survive.

Am I freaking crazy? Should I get tested or what?....

Yes you are ! None of over 40 million infected people around the globe caught infection from rest room toilet papers or toilet seat, or whatever comes in your mind.... no way never.  

There are only a few proven routes of transmission as follows.

Sexual Routes

Unprotected anal and vaginal sex (in the order of risk severity)
Unprotected oral sex only to the performers of oral-penile contact. Very low risk.

Non Sexual Routes

Sharing needles for drug
Blood Transfusion. (This is a zero risk in almost all developed countries)
Mother to child (now child can be saved from having infection)

And there is a very big FULL STOP.

So just relax , you were never at any kind of risk.

You don't need any testing because you were never exposed to a risk.

Seek mental health help. You are beyond the scope of help from any forum.

Thanks alot- I tried reasoning with myself that toilet paper and toilets was unreasonable- but i was just scared since I bleed easily while wiping- that the toilet paper might have hiv on it and then enter through the bleeding portion of my rectum area.

Sorry for the graphic content- but I feel alot better. I honestly should reason this out more. How can hiv even live on toilet paper? The host cell should die and shrivel up in such an agent as toilet paper. >.<

thanks for answering my unreasonable question :(

c'mon....get real.
If HIV were spread this way Einstein, public restrooms would not exist and everyone would be quarantined.
You have some severe issues at hand. Posting on here will not resolve them.

Your screen name should have read "basketcase" not blackcase.  (that was a joke...but had to say it)  :)
