About 3 years ago, I was sticking around the hotel, i then had the urge to masturbate and i masturbated quick in the public restroom. It's been too long to remember exactly how dirty the seat was or not or if my penis would've touched it or anything. But can i contract hiv by masturbating in a public restroom? I know you cant contract it by masturbating but what about in a public restroom. I'm only 15

. Too young to get tested. I've been worried sick for about 2 years+ now thinking i could've contacted it. A few replies would definately put my mind at ease.

Nope, you can't get HIV from masturbating in a public restroom but you can get arrested!

Not a chance. Even if the person who used the seat before you was HIV+, you still probably wouldn't get it. You've got to have direct contact with HIV+ fluid. And by direct contact, I mean it has to get in your blood stream through a puncture or a an orafice.....just contact on your skin (unless it had an open wound) wouldn't do it.

So, don't worry, at this point it's probably more likely that you will be struck by lightning than turn up HIV+ from that experience.......but, I'd probably recommend that you only use the public restrooms for their intended use.
