What is hiv risk of sitting on a toilet seat with possible cuts with smeared blood on toilet seat?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Made For The Movies: For starters,there's an episode of 'American Horror Story' that might show you an answer,but short of that, all you can say is that the exposure of broken skin to blood provides a more likely route of entry of the HIV virus than intact skin.If the cuts were new,even more.If deep,even more and,the clincher,the blood has to have HIV in it in appreciable amounts and be fresh.So,unlikely, but not 100%
