A member asked:
Should i be concerned about contracting hiv from a public restroom if i had actively bleeding hemorrhoids that could have came into contact with infected fluids while using the toilet?

One does not develop hemorrhoids from contact with infected toilets. It is highly unlikely to get HIV from public rest room. Best is to avoid them if you are worried.

No, HIV transmission is not possible from inanimate surfaces. Check cdc.gov for details regarding HIV transmission.
