Exposure in a bathroom
I went to a bar this weekend. The bathroom was utterly discusting. There was defiantly urine and God knows what else on the floor. I did not sit on the toilet seat. I had open toed shoes on so my toes were exposed. I am concerned that it is possible that some whatever was on the floor may have touched me. Should I be concerned about exposure?
hiv cannot survive outside its host...and when exposed to air, it quickly becomes inactive.
So I should not be concerned if the god knows what else could have been a small amount fo blood if some girl had her period and landed on the bathroom floor too? I did not see any blood, but who knows. I am just not a person that goes to these kinds of places and I was out with some friends for a birthday. The next morning I thought about the bathroom situation more and more and it is freaking me out.
