blood on toilet seat!

Hi

Im a little tense with a brief episode last night.

I was at a friend's and had to take a dump, as i was done i realized there was blood on the toilet seat.

I stupidly touched the bare blood in my hands, suspecting blood stools but apparently after everything was done my friend admitted his brother has a rectal problem and would bleed and 'stain' the toilet.

Now paranoid as hell, could i contract HIV or any disease from this episode?

Please let me know, thanks!

I agree with superman,also,The HIV virus is so fragile outside the body that it becomes damaged almost instantly and therefore is unable to infect you.Hiv is not transmitted via fomities.All the best.
