toilet water splash in eye Sep 29, 2002 Feeling nauseous (I am two months pregnant), I had to rush to the restroom in the restaurant and as I threw up, I felt some water from the toilet splash in my eye. I had not checked in my haste to see if the toilet had been flushed before me. I realize that an eye infection is possible, but should I be worried about anything more serious? Apologies for taking your time with a theme that has been asked about before, but the precise nature of the accident was so odd that I would appreciate an answer, especially since I tend to worry more than usual these days.. Thanks very much. |

 There is no risk for infection with HIV or other STDs through contact with toilet water. HIV is only known to be transmitted through sex, blood contact, and from mother-to-infant. RMK | ||||||||
