Can HIV Be Contracted With Genitals Coming In Contact With A Used Paper?

Hi, i had protected sex with a girl status not known, after that i used a toilet paper to remove some condom fluids on my penis that might have included her fluids because the condom does not cover the whole penis especially at the bottom, the toilet paper touched and covered the head of my circumcised penis, any hiv risk?

Hello,

The HIV particles do not survive on the toilet paper for more than seconds and so there is no chance of contracting HIV through this route for sure. Be precise and take care next time to avoid any mishap.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Bhagyesh V. Patel, General Surgeon
