Yeah, no. Even vigorous bareback anal sex transfers HIV only a minority of the time. Sitting on semen or menstrual fluid, or even rubbing it on your outer sphincter, is not going to give you HIV. Downvoted for focusing on generating a disgust reaction instead of being aware of any scientific facts.

You know how when you shit sometimes the water can splash back on your anus? I don't know if that can transmit HIV or any other diseases, but I'd rather not happen to me when I'm in a public toilet. Well if you put some toilet paper on the surface of the water it can prevent the splashing. It will increase the chance of clogging though.

  > I don't know if that can transmit HIV or any other diseases It's virtually impossible for HIV, you're time would be better spent planning how to spend your big lottery win. The reason anal sex is better at spreading HIV is because anal tearing allows it into the bloodstream, apart from that your anus is no different from your ass checks, you're arm or anywhere else.

    Mucus membranes are no different than asscheek. Fuck me, I hope you're not a doctor.

    >your anus is no different from your ass checks Doesn't stuff in your intestines get naturally absorbed into your bloodstream by some mechanism? I always figured the danger with putting things in your ass was that you would bypass the safety mechanism that the stomach acids double as.

      I'm not a doctor, but consider the size difference between molecules and viruses. Some quick googling puts the size of the aids virus at 0.1 micron and the size of a water molecule at 0.018 microns if I did the conversion right. Getting from the toilet through the anus and into the intestines is it's own challenge. There's shit, multiple sphincters and bends in the way. Then you've got the transmissibility of aids itself, which is actually quite low for anything other than blood transfusions: http://www.aidsmap.com/Estimated-risk-per-exposure/page/1324038/ http://www.aidsmap.com/Estimated-risk-per-exposure/page/1324... Put all that together and there's no chance anyone got aids from toilet splashback.

  What do you think is more likely: 1) I like public toilet water splashing up into my anus 2) I want to relay scientific facts about the transmissibility about a disease that has a lot of fear, stigma, and falsehoods spread about it, often in the service of an anti-gay agenda. To answer what you don't know: no, splashback can't transfer HIV.

    I don't know what you're getting at. I just wanted to share a trick.
