Worried about hiv from urine? i used a public toilet in a rush there was urine in there. i squatted over and it splashed up at me, hiv risk from this?

No risk, no worries: Urine doesn't transmit HIV at all. Nobody ever catches HIV or STDs in public toilets unless they have sex or share needles in them. Choose your sexual partners with care, use condoms for new or unknown partners, and don't use other persons' drug injection works. That's all you need to do to avoid HIV.
