Hi, I need advice please. I recently used a public toilet and when i wiped myself I noticed the tissue was wet. I looked at the roll I had used and it had previously dropped down the toilet. I know the chances are remote but I worry that It had been dropped down the toilet by a HIV+ lady while she was menustrating. Could you answer a few questions for me please a) Could my mucous membrane absorb the virus with one wipe (I have thrush so slightly enflamed down below)? b) Would the water in the toilet be able to dilute the virus at all, thus making it less infectious? c) Do I need a test? Ive read you cant catch HIV through environmental surfaces but I dont Know If this includes wiping them on a mucous membrane! Thankyou in advance for your time

It is nearly impossible to get HIV as per your history. If you are too anxious, you can do a HIV test.
