Doesn't wood kill bacteria? I'm pretty sure that's why you're supposed to use a wood cutting board for meat
Edit: did anyone even Google it before down voting me? https://hardwoodreflections.com/is-wood-naturally-antibacterial/

Just in case you're serious or if someone else didn't know. Wood does not kill bacteria.
Wood is used in cutting boards because it was an available material that was shapeable, cleanable, and didn't destroy the knife edge.
You are wrong.

I also remember in my school smth about it.
But I am certain that a Bench with treated wood would not have the same characteristics from a cuttinf board. So maybe the idea could not be applied to a bench
I learned that wood boards are better than plastic, because plastic gets tiny grooves from cutting where bacteria can grow inside. With wood, those tiny grooves naturally close since wood "swells" when it gets wet.
The wood also absorbs the bacteria, bacteria can't survive in wood Source
Didn't even bother looking it up, huh?
HIV, AIDS, Herpes =/= bacteria...
My comment literally says "wood kills bacteria". The person worrying about getting AIDS form a bench is an idiot or joking, I was merely bringing up the fact that wood kills bacteria, which ~~a lot of~~ some people apparently didn't know.
Edit: unless someone with herpes used it seconds before someone without it, it's probably fine. I can't conceive how someone would get AIDS by sharing a pipe, bench or otherwise.
