I suffer from chronic irritable bowel syndrome. I have to take a high dose of anti-diarrheal every single day in order to keep myself from going to the bathroom 15 times a day. Unfortunately, it makes my feces incredibly hard, which has led to hemorrhoids which often bleed a bit. I also work 40 hours a week in an over-trafficked Target Center in the heart of Minneapolis. Is there a risk of infection, however remote, from fluids or blood on the toilet seat, toilet rim, toilet bowl, or in the water? I cannot use stool softeners, as they aggravate my condition.
Also, I have a problem with uncontrollable ejaculation. The slightest sexual stimulation makes me get aroused, the merest brush of an attractive female. This comes from 10 years of violent sexual repression after a rape. Now I'm in a fulfilling, sexual relationship, but my problem still remains. So, as I've done for the past five years, I wear rubber balloons around my penis when I'm in public. However, I often notice a ring of raw flesh which is often bleeding slightly. My question is: If I'm in a public restroom and bleeding, even if only slightly, is there any chance of coming in contact with HIV-infected blood under the toilet seat or along the rim of the bowl itself, that I might accidentally brush against with my bleeding member?
Should I bother getting tested? Are these legitimate risks?
Thank you very much.
