Can I get STDs/STIs from used toilet paper?
Long story short - after I was done peeing, I noticed some urine got on the toilet seat and wiped it with a toilet paper. However, there was no more toilet paper left so I folded my used toilet paper into half and used clean and unused side to wipe my genital area. I was bit drunk so I am not 100% sure if I did fold into half and used dry and clean side of the used toilet paper.
Can I catch anything from this? Should I be concerned and get tested? I do not have any symptoms so far though.
Thanks!

No, you can not get an STI from this.
It's a little gross, but that's mostly because no one wants to think of other people's urine. Nothing will actually happen from it, though.
