Is it possible for a person to contract the aids virus in a hot tub.?

I don,t mean "doing the deed" in a hot tub. Does the virus survive in the warm water and infect another person without physical contact?

Donald - No, not a single case has even been reported in the medical literature. If it could happen, the world would have stopped taking tub baths long ago. Getting the HIV virus on your skin will not cause an infection in you unless you have an open wound for the virus to contact and enter your blood circulation. And the virus is very fragile, dying rapidly outside the human body, unless specially preserved in a lab under special conditions.

No, the virus can only live for seconds or minutes outside of the body.

No. The tub would have to be filled with blood.
