urine and feces?
Hi.
I had to clean out a tolit today that was clogged with little urine and watery feces. I didn't put my hand right inside the tolit, but i did touch a little bit of the water fluids when I put in the jug to remove the water from the top of the over flowing tolit. Is there a risk for HIV bcz I had some small cuts on hand? Feces and Urine?

but if the feces were my own of course no risk, right? but if there was urine in the tolit ,too.... I do not remember, any risk from that?
You will not contract HIV from URINE or Feces. You can however contract hepatitis in that manner.
The CDC states that HIV is not known to be found in urine or feces. You were never at risk.
HIV has been detected in urine in trace amounts, but there's NEVER been a confirmed case of someone getting HIV from urine.
Your risk was zero.
Your risk was zero.
and the little tiny cuts on my skin were not even bleeding. i think it was just top layer of the skin that was open.
HIV dies very quickly outside the body, and even if it didn't your risk was essentially zero.
