A member asked:
Am i at any risk of getting hiv or hepatitis b or c from a public restroom if i have recurring hemorrhoids and fissures. i use the bathroom a lot at work due to bladder issues?

No, transmission of Hep B or C is not likely in above circumstances, hands hygiene remains critical otherwise in avoiding much more common infections seen in this context. CDC.gov is a reliable site to review transmission of hepatitis viruses.
