Do I have to be scared about contracting HIV on this way?
Hi, I'm girl and I'm very scared. Last week I went to toilet in the apartament where I live with another girl and have splashback from dirty toilet water and then I masturbated with the blanket and forgot about the splashback. My question is if to the toilet went somebody who's HIV positive can i contract HIV?
Absolutely not. HIV is not transmitted this way. Check out the CDC webside on ways that HIV is transmitted. HIV does not live in air. It does not survive in a toilet, dirty water, a blanket, door knob...anything like that is not a transmission route. Education is key here and I think you will hopefully be able to put this behind you. If not, then you should seek out the counsel of a psychologist. Take care.
