Can Hiv Infection Be Transmitted Through Toilet Paper With Infected Secretions?
Hello,
could HIV be contracted if someone (im female-15 yrs old) were to use toilet paper that had infected vaginal secretions on it? (assuming it was fresh) i ask because recently, i accidentally used toilet paper that i had first put down on the seat, which had some kind of fluid on it. I can't remember if i had any cuts at the time.

Generally there is negligible chance of having hiv infection by that manners. But theoretical is fresh secretion of hiv positive vaginal fluid come in contact with your vaginal fluid then its a chance. very rare but there is a chance. So avoid using that.go for testing once.and make ensure that you are safe till date.
