Blood on toilet
The other day used public restroom it was busy lady came out I went in had to pee badly so I hovered over toilet but my clothes touched the toilet seat when I got up noticed blood on seat was a few drops but what if blood got on my clothes and touched my skin? Also I checked to see if it was dry I wiped it with a wod of tissue wiped right off so must been from lady before me I was wondering if either one is a risk I'm pregnant has me worried. I called my dr he said as long as I had no cuts but I didn't touch the blood barehanded just wanted to know if wiping with tissue or if the blood got on my clothes is a risk?
Yes, even if those things happened. In the world's busiest HIV/AIDS clinics, there are never patients who did not have traditional high risk exposure (sexual, shared needles, etc). If contacts like this could result in infection, obviously there would be at least occasional patients with traditional risks.
Do your best to stop worrying about it.
