A member asked:
When going to the public toilet, the genitals accidentally touch the toilet seat, if there is a hpv virus on the toilet seat, will it be infected?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No risk, no worry: Going back over 100 years, people have worried or believed that STDs could be caught from toilet seats. We know now it never happens, for HPV or any other STD. If you don't have sex with an infectred person, you'll never catch an STD. Don't worry about it.
