Hi
Thanks for choosing HCM for your query.
I appreciated your concern for your brother.

HIV can be found in a person’s semen, but s a matter of fact HIV does not survive long outside the human body (such as on toilet seats or surfaces), and hence it cannot reproduce.

Since your brother had a direct contact with the seminal fluid that is ejaculated by you during masturbation, the chances of transmission of the disease depends upon how long the seminal fluid was there after the ejaculation on the toilet seats or the walls.

In view of the fact that he had a little bit of seminal fluid on the tip of his penis, it is strongly recommended that your brother should undergo lab testing to rule out HIV infection even though the chances are less.

Hope your doubt is clarified.
Kindly rate the answer, if you are convinced.


It is not spread by

Toilet seats.
