Ok, I read your "encounter." Guess what, you had NONE! Stop worrying about HIV and move on with your life. If people got HIV from toilet seats, 3/4 of the population would be infected by now.

The HIV virus is extremely fragile. As soon as it is exposed to air, the virus starts getting destroyed in a matter of minutes if not within seconds. What was your encounter?
