Can you get hiv from touching something contaminated and then touching the toliet paper you wipe youself with shortly after?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: It is actually quite hard to transmit HIV. Bodily fluid transfer is the most likely way. With newer meds, we can now prevent infection if you start the meds after a known high risk contact. Touching then wiping is not a method of contracting the disease. Take care!
