Touching a toilet seat, then touching the urethra of penis...

At work today I was lifting the toilet seat up before urinating. Immediately after I touched the seat, I accidentally touched the urethra of my penis. Is there anyway to catch Hepatitis, or any other disease from doing this?

I know this may seem silly, but it is really scaring me and I tend to have an irrational fear of germs...\

Please let me know. I really appreciate it.

Wouldn't want to do that on anything higher than the 3rd or 4th floor - that's for sure.

Yes i know what your saying, but on the bright side that cold water jolts you back into reality before you make the mistake of pushing that handle down. Just imagine doing that.

Annyone else have the problem where you're standing there ready to go, not paying attention, and Mr Winkie dips down into the bowl water? Not just gross, but that water can be cold..... and deep too.

Just so you know...This is a hepatitis c community. Our experience living with and treating hep c is our main focus. Other infectious diseases are not are specialty.

Was there anything on the toilet seat you could see? Blood, pee, poo? I assume not.
If hepatitis spread this easily, most people in the US and the world would have hepatitis. What about all the door knobs with body fluids on them? (Sorry to be so gross but it is true).There are 307 million US citizens maybe 4.5 million have chronic hepatitis infections.

If you are worried about hepatitis get immunized against hep A and B. (!)
You will never have to worry about catching either again. These viruses are the ones that are more likely transmitted from objects. Hepatitis C is usually transmitted through blood. From the blood of an infected people directly into the blood of another,as through IV drug use.

I believe the real issue hear is you fear. Not catching hepatitis. Have you ever tried treatment for your phobia. It must be difficult living that much irrational fear. Maybe should should at least try something?
Here is a link to a website the discuss phobias and various phobias and treatment options.

Good luck to you.
