Are there any known cases of HIV/AIDS transmission through bodily fluids on toilet seats

Are there any known cases of HIV/AIDS transmission through bodily fluids on toilet seats?
I know that it is HIGHLY unlikely, but I was just wondering.

None that i know of HIV pathogens cannot live very long outside of the body, someone infected would have to have an open wound on their bum bleed noticeably on the seat and poo, and within a couple minutes you would have to sit on that bloody toilet seat with your own open wound.

There would have to be bodily fluid such as blood, and it would then have to come in contact with the mucous membranes of the person sitting on the seat. It is unlikely to happen. *************************** "HIV and Toilet seats Posted on Oct 21, 1999 Dear doctor: I read that there are some forms of VD that you can catch on a dirty toilet seat. Is this true? and what about catching HIV? On Oct 22, 1999 Emily J. Erbelding, M.D., M.P.H. replied: Please! You cannot catch HIV from sitting on a dirty toilet seat if you are the only one in the stall. Ditto for all STDs.

lol... yes. What do they teach kids in school these days? If you have a cut or some sort of opening then you can get hiv/aids from any blood or semen that contains hiv/aids. both of those things can be on a toilet seat. This of course is not a problem if you do not have any sort of open wound. And also are not rubbing your pussy all over the seat, which you shouldn't do anyway.
