A member asked:
This is embarrasing! whenever i wipe after a no.2 do i only wipe around my anus or should i stick the toilet paper inside my anus and wipe aswell?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Wipe outside : Wipe the entire outside. I suppose you could choose not to wipe but that might get itchy & smelly. Women might also get more BV infections.

I reached into a public toilet bowl and water with my hand (contact over one minute). I then used the same unwashed hand to wipe my butt with toilet paper. Will my hand spread HIV to my butt/anus since it touched the toilet bowl and water?
