HIV FROM SHOWER
Can someone get HIV if someone masturbated in the shower could they come in contact say if they sat in the shower or took a bath or stepped on it and then did not clean there foot off and put their thong back on
Your situation involves personal contact with an object in air (sperm, maybe blood etc. ). You will be happy to learn that you had no risk, because you can't get hiv from personal contact except unprotected penetrating vaginal or anal with a penis, neither of which you did and you didn't share hollow needles to inject with which is the only other way to acquire hiv - there are ONLY 3 ways to get hiv. Analysis of large numbers of infected people over the 40 years of hiv history has proven that people don't get hiv in the way you are worried is a risk.
HIV is a fragile virus in air or saliva and is effectively instantly dead in either air or saliva so the WORST that could happen is dead virus rubbed you, and obviously anything which is dead cannot live again so you are good. Blood and cuts would not be relevant in your situation since the hiv has become effectively dead, so you don't have to worry about them to be sure that you are safe.
There is no reason for a person to test when they are safe. The advice took into consideration that the other person might be positive, so move on and enjoy life instead of thinking about this non-event. hiv prevention is straightforward since there are only 3 ways you can become infected, so next time you wonder if you had a risk, ask yourself this QUESTION. "Did I do any of the 3?" Then after you say "No, I didn't" you will know that it's time to move on back to your happy life.
No one got hiv from what you did during 40 years of hiv history and no one will get it in the next 40 years of your life either. You can do what you did any time and be safe from hiv.
The other person's status is irrelevant when you have no exposure to live virus.

Idk I mean what if there was some sperm floating around that didn’t get drained all the way and you sat down or something and you came in to contact with it
There is a ZERO percent chance of infection from this event, and any event that involves contact with fluid on any surface or on someone's skin. The event you mention is an impossibility for HIV infection.
The only risks for HIV in adults are:
1) Having unprotected anal or vaginal sex, or
2) sharing intravenous needles with IV drug users.
Any other event you can think of is not a risk for HIV.

What if you get sperm on the inside of your thong from your foot if you stepped in sperm and then put your thong back on when you get out of the shower
Reread the advice. You can't be infected since there wasn't a penis in your anus and you weren't injected with a hollow needle - any what-if can only be irrelevant.
Honestly, no what ifs or buts. HIV just is not spread like this.
Even if everything you said happen HIV is very fragile and would be long dead before it got anywhere near you.
Honestly if there was even a minute risk I would tell you, I owe it to you to to.
In this case however it gives me great pleasure to tell you categorically you CANT catch HIV this way.
