Hiv from used toilet paper.

Went pee in a target bathroom. They had no toilet paper, found some toilet paper (in the thing that is wear girls put pads & tampons) that looked clean, was dry and smelt like normal toilet paper. What if it was used by someone who had hiv and put it in there? Can I catch hiv from something like this. I know this sounds gross, I was in a rush and wasn't thinking. Thanks for your help.

eeeeeeeeewwwwwwwwwwhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh...i dont care how big of a rush i was in...i would never use toilet paper that came out of a waste container !

you had no risk for contracting hiv.  hiv is not transmitted outside it's host and becomes inactive and unable to infect, once exposed to air.

I know, I know. I feel so dumb and stupid for doing it. Okay thank you for the information. I have been told that before but I just still get worried. Thank you for your time to answer my question. But I was told that Hiv can survive in a dried state but you need to have a sufficiant quainty of the virus in order for you to get infected. Does this mean that when a girl wipes that not enough of the virus is on that toilet paper? If you have no clue, it' fine! (: Lol thanks again for your timeee.

HIV is not transmitted outside it's host. You had no risk.

Thanks for your reply! Should I get tested still?

"You had no risk" means you don't need to get tested.

Thanks, I feel like I'm just going to go do a rapid to prove it to myself. But it hasn't been three months yet.

Another question guys!
Does leukocyte in urine have anything to do with hiv. I took a uti test, just for the heck of it. I tested positive for it, I called my gyno and he said sometime it is high but he said he would have to talk to the doctor. Love some infooo on this thanks!

You don't have an HIV concern. Kindly move along.

[LL1121]

Thank you, I am trying my hardest, just trying to get the facts through my worries. It is getting better each day. Thanks for not getting annoyed with me (:

Hello everyone!
Going to get tested in 2 hours to finally put an end to my worries, please wish me the best of luck with this. Very scared ): I know all of you said I was at no risk but my worries are thinking about those what if's.

[joggen]

You don't need to test for HIV over used toilet paper. There are no what ifs. Any test that you take will be negative.

[LL1121]

It did come out negative! I just was still worried and wanted the proof in my hands. Which is what I did. Thanks thou for all your help.

Your test result reinforces the proof that such stuffs don't pose HIV risk. Stop thinking that you had an HIV risk, you didn't have it AT ALL.

[LL1121]

Thank you for the response. I just always think about the 'what ifs', and testing was one of the best things I did for myself. I still have my days where i think was my 11.5 week test conclusive? But I'm trying to get it through my worries/anxiety that it's conclusive and i'm in fact hiv free.
