A member asked:
Used a public toilet. noticed small amount of dry blood in the toilet seat after i got up to flush. can hiv or hcv be transmitted?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Unlikely: Even if the person whose dried blood was on the seat, had HIV and or HCV the risk of your catching HIV or Hep C is very remote. For your piece of mind, get a HIV nucleic acid test and Hepatitis C antibody test in 6 months. For good health - Have a diet rich in fresh vegetables, fruits, whole grains, low fat milk and milk products, nuts, beans, legumes, lentils and small amounts of lean meats. Avoid saturated fats. Exercise at least 150 minutes/week and increase the intensity of exercise gradually. Do not use tobacco, alcohol, weed or street drugs in any form. Practice safe sex. Get HPV vaccine.
