There appeared to be no visible blood on it ya never know tho and the act was done on toliet paper dispenser probably not the most sanitary of conditions.

Theoretically yes, in practice no. 

This is another version of your continued anxiety-driven questions. You were warned earlier by Dr. Handsfield.  This is the only response you will get on this question.  You need to move on.  EWH
