    Is it possible to get a STD from a toilet bowl?
    I think I have a STD and I think I might have gotten one from a toilet bowl. This is really freaking me out!

    I think I answered this one previously... same exact question. I'll copy/paste reply:

    Well, my mother taught me to never say never... so I won't say "never"... however, your chances of catching an std via the toilet seat are VERY slim to none. Unless there's some sort of fluid (blood, mucous, etc) on the toilet seat, and you have some sort of an open wound RIGHT where you're about to sit down on, and the two make contact... then you MIGHT get an infection... MIGHT.

    It's sanitary to put down the toilet seat cover... I usually carry a bottle of hand sanitizer with me and I usually just wipe the seat with a little bit of the hand sanitizer on the toilet paper.

    If you're comfortable telling us, what makes you think you got whatever you got from a toilet bowl?
