STDs from close contact with toilet seat?
I live in a dorm where I share 2 toilets with about 10 other girls. Yesterday I went to urinate and wiped myself with a ball of toilet paper; I then used that ball to wipe a few stray drops of my urine from the seat. Before I dropped it into the toilet I noticed that I must have started my period, as there was a little blood on the wiper. Without thinking, I dabbed at myself again using the same ball of toilet paper.
Now I’m afraid that I might have given myself an STD or other infection via the damp paper that touched both the toilet seat and the area around my vagina. So, what are the chances that I picked up an infection this way?

Really? That's a relief. I was basically terrified for a while there. Especially since I only recently had sex for the first time, haha ... after 20 years as a virgin it would suck to catch something from a toilet seat, of all things.
