I used a public toilet where my urine splashed back onto my anal area, potentially contacting surfaces that may have been contaminated with vaginal secretions, menstrual blood, or other bodily fluids from previous users. I have a small cut on my anus and am concerned about the risk of STD or HIV infection. Additionally, I wiped a toilet seat with a paper towel that had dry menstrual blood on it, and I'm worried about the risk of infection if the blood transferred to my hand, especially if I had cuts on my fingers or if I touched my anal area without washing my hands first. Can you assess the risk of infection in these scenarios?
