A member asked:
A public restroom, blood on the toilet seat, some got on me, none touched my genitals, do i worry about aids? if i need to get tested, how soon should i do it?

Dirty toilet seat: Dirty restrooms should be avoided if possible. However, if there is some type of exposure with blood in a rest-room, one should try to wash it off immediately. Intact skin is actually protective against blood borne germs. Avoiding contact of bloody fluids with mucous membranes like genitals, lips, eyes etc. is advisable. It's best to see a doctor right away if you think you were exposed.
