A member asked:
If a little urine of my hiv+ friend dropped in the toilet seat (no visible blood) went in contact with a wound it's any risk for hiv? why?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: Urine does not seem to transmit HIV. If you are using the toilet you do not have an actively hemorrhagic wound that void conceivably admit infection of any sort. These are not concerns that should trouble an person in the 21st century
