ToiletSeats For nonsexual transmission of an STI to occur through a fomite (such as a toilet seat/rim) the following sequence of events would need to occur. • Infectious skin or organs touch the toilet seat • The organism could survive on a hard dry surface • Susceptible skin/organs contacts the surface before the organism dies • An “infectious dose” is reached Conclusion: Nonsexual transmission of STIs is extraordinarily unlikely
