Question 1

See a urologist: A wound in this location can become infected and be a serious health issue.  I recommend you see a urologist as soon as possible for evaluation and treatment.

Question 2

is it possible to contract hiv from a open wound on your penis touching your own toilet at home?

Accepted Answer

Wimpy Virus: It is important to remember that viruses like hepc, HIV and others are strings of proteins that are connected by very weak bonds.  They require many things to stay active and need living cells to reproduce and survive.  Unless there was gross blood, mucous or some other organic substance on that toilet seat and it got into your penis, the odds are very unlikely.  Urine is mostly water so low risk.
