toilet seat

I was at a friend's of a friend party. There were a lot of people. I went to one of the toilets, my penis touched the toilet seat and felt immediately something that I believe was sperm. I think there was someone there masturbating 10 minutes or so before  I went in. DO YOU THINK I HAVE ANY RISK FOR HIV? DO I NEED A TEST? thanks

Even a matter of seconds the virus cannot live outside from the host. you're perfectly fine mate.:) Keep well. Always use condom and never share needles.

thank you guys very much. I worried for nothing then, all the best. When I felt the sperm I went mad, but I did not know it deactivate when outside. Luckily anyway I went in at least 10 minutes after the last guy. take care and thank you

HIV is not transmitted in this manner,  The HIV virus would be inactive and unable to infect if outside the host (Body). Getting HIV from a toilet seat is not a risk at all.

HIV testing is not needed and you can stop worring.

You are fine

No. No need for any HIV tests. HIV virus cannot live outside from it's host not even close to a second.
