i asked this question a loooooong time ago but i starting to get worried again. ok so here is the story.[if u havent heard it already]
i to walmart about a year ago and i had to use the restroom REALLY bad. they only had a unisex loo. i didnt realize there wasnt any toilet paper until after i was done and i had done number 2. i saw a what i though was a trash can and took out a piece of toilet paper from there. i later found out it was a tampon disposal. i dont remeber blood, pee, or anything else being on it but im not sure. if there was blood on it could i have caught the HIV. i know it dies in the air but what if i like went in right after the person completed doing her business?
Answer:
HIV is transmitted primarily through vaginal and anal sex. Also by reusing contaminated syringe needles. Also rarely by transfusions of contaminated blood.
Getting it from what you describe would be rare indeed. But so you don't worry overmuch, get tested. A school nurse or public health department can steer you to confidential testing.
Answer:
Well there’s no HIV in Pee, and usually the virus dies when it touches the air…
I am sure you’ve nothing to worry about, I doubt you would have picked up anything that had blood on it to use for yourself. You most definitely probably picked up the cleanest looking thing in there you could find (but eewww still hehe) so I doubt there was blood on it and You probably are okay
Please dont do that again though for other health reasons hehe
Answer:
I am in the Medical Field
Unless you had OPEN sores and blood or vaginal fluid got in them it is NOT Likely that you got HIV
Yes it dies in the air
3 months to show symptoms of HIV in a blood test
If you are concerned get tested
You will be put on a “COCKTAIL” until your next test in 6 months
Answer:
EW. Seriously, EW.
Okay, in spite of my initial EW reaction to your question, I’ve to state that the odds are incredibly minute that you could have contracted HIV in this way…. to the point of being impossible. Answer to your question: No you don’t have HIV from this incident.
Answer:
oh for pity sake, no one here can answer your question with any accuracy or knowledge, while it is highly unlikely you could get HIV that way, if you can't get any peace of mind go to a doctor and be tested.
