Could I get hiv from sitting on blood on a toilet seat?

I was just using the bathroom and noticed this yellow/orange stuff on the front of the toilet seat where I think I felt my female private touch. If that is blood and hiv +, could I get hiv from that?

Once hiv has left the body... it dies. So even if you went to the restroom right after an infected person... your chances are marginal. But, I caution you... please get tested just in case. I get tested every six months.

Yuk! That sounds horrible. It would take me a while to forget about that if that had of happened to me!

I don't think you can get HIV like that but if you are worried then you can always go and get a test done. Always check the cubicle when you go inside and choose a clean one.

Hiv i's not what you need to worry about in that situation. . Hepatitis c is. Yikes. Y I u are more likely to catch hepatitis c from that type of situation. Get tested for that too.

The toilets in college dorms are never clean. And even if you wipe them it doesn't always come off

No. I have experience as a counselor for people with HIV and I used to worry about similar things. I've made contact with blood and urine-- no HIV.
