STDs are almost ALWAYS spread by sex or some sort of sexual contact. They can NOT be spread by using a toilet seat after someone. If STDs were able to spread by toilet seats, A LOT more people would have STDs out there!
I have had genital herpes and HPV for over 6 years now. I lived with my parents and brothers most of those 6 years (I contracted both viruses when I was 17). NONE of my family members ever got herpes or HPV from me by using something after me like the toilet or shower. I've also had several other family members and boyfriends (now ex's) use the bathroom after me and NONE of them ever contracted either virus. They are just not spread that way.
Crabs, or pubic lice, may be transmitted an infested toilet seat. However, lice cannot survive away from the human body for longer than 24 hours. So contracting pubic lice from a toilet seat is possible, but it's unlikely.
Good luck!

Only if you lick the toilet seat. Just wash your hands after every use. YOU SHOULD BE DOING THIS ALREADY!!!!
