Can i get hsv2 or hiv , from cleaning off a toilet seat with bleach with no gloves forgetting to wash hands and then touching underwear shortly after?

It is highly unlikely to contract HSV2 or HIV from cleaning a toilet seat with bleach and then touching underwear without washing hands. Both viruses require direct contact with bodily fluids, such as blood, semen, vaginal secretions, or breast milk, for transmission. practice good hygiene and wash hands thoroughly with soap and water after using the bathroom or cleaning surfaces.

HIV or HSV 2 transmission is not possible in above described scenario, from inanimate surfaces. A fight-or-flight response appears likely given circumstances in the context of possible HIV related anxiety.
