HIV does not live on toilet seats. The increased risk is during unprotected sexual intercourse when there are open herpes sores.

Swab test from a sore . So if this keeps happening I will never be at risk if my penis with these sores keeps touching the toilets ? I have been very scared since my diagnosis since I read online that it's really easy to contract hiv when hsv2 is present
