A member asked:
My girlfriend is wearing thin leggings and she thinks she sat in some bodily fluids while riding in her uber shes still not home yet will she get any kind of disease like herpes,hiv,hepb or c?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
That certainly sounds gross! In general, it is unlikely she will catch anything in that fashion. The main infection that can spread through bodily fluids is Hep B, but it needs to be through an open wound or via mucous membranes (mouth, vagina, eyes, etc). She should take the leggings off and wash with soap and water as soon as she is home.
