I just used a public bathroom going #2. after done wiping i noted that the toilet paper has blood on it. am i at risk of hiv if tp was infected?

More like hemorrhoid: Not very likely. Toilet paper, fresh from a roll, is pretty clean. Blood on the toilet paper after you’ve wiped is most likely coming from either your internal or external hemorrhoids.

No: TP had your blood on it and that would not cause HIV. For good health - Have a diet rich in fresh vegetables, fruits, whole grains, milk and milk products, nuts, beans, legumes, lentils and small amounts of lean meats. Avoid saturated fats. Drink enough water daily, so that your urine is mostly colorless. 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, if you have sex. Get HPV vaccine
