HIV and toilet seats?

I have heard that it is impossible to get HIV from shared toilet seats---but what if a woman with HIV/AIDS on her period used the toilet, got a little blood on the seat and another woman with a cut on her leg (or whereever she touched the seat) sat down to use it and made contact with the blood? I know it would be extremely unlikely for this to happen---but it is possible to contract HIV this way in these circumstances?

I'm not worried about it---I've just always wondered. :-)

It would be so unlikely so as to become impossible... the HIV can't survive in a lil dried up substance on a toilet seat or elsewhere. A person would need to sit immediately (and accurately) on the freshly wettened spot, while the virus is still viable and infectious... then, maybe.

yes it is if its an open sore and the blood gets in or any type of cells from her body they can get infected i know my moms a doc

Um.... No.... The HIV virus is so fragile that it wouldn't survive on a toilet seat.

NO the HIV virus isnt strong enough to survive outside the body

You can't get HIV from toilet seats. HIV cannot live outside the body.

no it is not true. the only std you can get from a toilet seat would be, crabs. gohnnerea, and chlamydia. witch are all bacterial stds. hiv is a virus and it doesnt live once its released to air.
