Hi there, help me please. I need the clarification.

I use the same toilet with two people those who are hiv positive. It's the public toilet in an office; Normally, I wear shoes, but that day my foot injures--wound from my nail cuts my finger. The wound doesn't pass for a long time; just 1.30hr-2hr. So I walk and use the toilet with my foot in socks -- no shoes at all.

The problem is I see many drops of water on the floor; I'm worried it may be the drop of blood, or water contained blood (of the two people who are hiv positive because they use the same toilet as I use.) I understand that the nomal use of toilet together can't infect, but in this case -- the wound on my foot. Is it possible to be infected this way????? The drop may be outside body just 5 minutes;I'm afraid that the virus doesn't die yet. I'm so paranoid.

"Am i safe even I've got a wound at foot, right??" If not, "I will go to get nPep as soon as possible."
Thank you very much.
