Can u only catch through sex just concerned u may b able to catch through toilet seat

Hi there,

We do not know of anyone getting an STI from toilet seats, toilet floors, or objects/ paper that touched toilets. You do not need to worry about getting an STI this way.

STIs are spread directly from person to person during oral, anal or vaginal sex.
