Peeing on Toilet

Hi everyone,

I went into a public toilet and there was many drops off wet pee on the seat. I didnt want to wipe it myself so i just placed two toilet seat covers over it. I decided to then squat and pee and in doing so, the covers fell into the toilet.Probably because I was not bending far back enough into the toilet hole, my pee sprayed all over the front edge and corners of the seat.

I am concerned that somehow my pee bounced off the toilet, catching the other persons pee and anything else on the seat and bounced/splashed back onto/into me. I had shaved my vagina merely an hour before and did sustain a few bleeding cuts. I am not sure if they were just on the top of my vagina or down by the pee hole as well which would be closest to the toilet seat where my pee was spraying all over.

Am I at risk?

HIV is unable to reproduce outside its living host (unlike many bacteria or fungi, which may do so under suitable conditions), except under laboratory conditions; therefore, it does not spread or maintain infectiousness outside its host.

HIV is transmitted by;
Unprotected penetrative anal and/or vaginal sex
Sharing works with other IV drug users
Mother to child

Thanks Teak, I understand but those ways leave out exposure of fluids to fresh cuts. I am just concerned about any contamination of the toilet/other persons pee get splashed into my pretty fresh shaving cuts

You were advised in this thread how HIV is transmitted. You never had an exposure.
