I suppose you can. Your question is hard to understand. If there is (blood) from a gals period in the toilet bowl...if it goes into your (butt) when you pee...can you get infected with AIDS. I quess if you have aids, and your bloods hit your anus, then you cant get reinfected. If the blood is from someone else, and ends up on you, there is a small chance of getting HIV not AIDS. HIV comes before AIDS. Dont worry, dont use toilets with blood everywhere!

The aids virus cannot live outside the human body for very long at all, so I am going to say that IF there is a chance, it is a VERY VERY small one...
This is assuming that the menstral blood you are speaking of belongs to someone else. But if that is the case, why wouldn't you flush first??

No. The HIV virus can't live outside the human body for that long, and your anus will effectively keep it out of your colon.
But why don't you just flush before sitting? Personally I wouldn't care to get anybody's menstrual blood on me if there was splashback, just for the "ick" factor.

it depends on two factors.
1. is the blood infected with HIV
2. Is the blood yours
If 1=yes and 2=yes, you are already infected with HIV and having contact with the infected blood does not matter.
If 1=no and 2=yes or no, you cannot get HIV if the blood is not infected. However, if you are coming into contact with blood for your period that is in the toilet, you need to change your flushing habits and your "using the toilet habits" to prevent toilet matter from coming into contact from your body.
If 1=yes and 2=no, you need to go to a doctor and get tested righ away and continue testing until to doctor clears you of the possibility of had contracted HIV. Again, you need to change your bathroom habits to prevent this in the future.
In general, there is the occasional "splash" of the toilet onto ones bottom when using it, but one needs to make sure that they are keeping themself clean by flushing the toilet and wiping oneself well.
Also, HIV is transmitted through the tranfer of HIV infected bodily fluids to another into their body through an opening in the body (vaginal, anal) as well as open wounds (cuts, sores, blisters).
One cannot self infect onself.
HIV is perfectly preventable: Do not share needles, protect yourself by using a condom during sex or do not have sex. If you feel you have been exposed:get tested to receive treatment and prevent spreading it to others.

You cannot get infected from your own blood. And once you are infected, it doesn't matter where your menstrual blood travels on your body, it's already a done deal.
