What to do if i'm 16 and scared i have caught an std from the toilet?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Unlikely: I have difficulty picturing any STD that would pass on a toilet seat. Such events are considered a myth, often promoted to explain a case that was acquired through sexual activity.If you are really concerned, you should share your concerns with your doc, and have any test run that may be indicated.
