A member asked:

Can urine on toilet seat touching a sore or personal areas cause anything like hep a hep b hep c or hiv?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Yes: Hep c is highly transmissible, hep b and HIV much less. The precondition is a break in your own skin, so yes for the sore no for the private area.
