Can STDs be Transmitted by Sharing Toilet Seats?

It is a common belief that sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) can be transmitted by sharing toilet seats. However, scientific evidence does not support this claim.^1,2,3 As most STDs are spread by direct contact with infected bodily fluids, not by indirect contact such as sharing a toilet seat.⁴ Lastly, while it seems impossible to catch an infection from a contaminated toilet seat, one should be wary of contracting other potential bacterial or viral infections.
