Hello everyone, I would appreciate some reasurence (sorry for my poor english, Im from europe). I gave birth to my first child 3 days ago and am still very emotinal. At the hospital room We are 3 women sharing the same toilet. All of us have stiches and bleeding from giving birth. When i go in the toilet I see blood on the seat so I clean it with soap before sitting, and put toilet papper on the seat, but there were a couple of times I missed a few spots or was still high from epidural and sat on the seat without thinking.
Today I found out by accidant that the nurse took an hiv test from one of the women. I paniced and asked her about it since we do share the same bathroom while bleeding a lot, and the nurse said not to worry, that they have to check it since she is an immigrant from africa, and it is not because they think she has it.
Maybe its the hormones, but I am worried, even though I know the virus dies quickley outside the body. And even tough I try to clean up good before I seat. I keep thinking maybe I didnt clean good enough while being very tiered and going in the middle of the night... Would love some reasurence
