First time at Bathhouse Hot tub
Hello ,
Thank you for educating the public on HIV.
I visited the bathhouse for the first time last week. I didn’t have any sexual or physical contact with anyone.
However I spent a couple of minutes in the hot tub and I was a little worried about the potential of HIV in water . I was joined by two men in the bath tub who might have had sex before, but then shortly left the hot tub without any contact .
Does HIV lose its infectiousness in water . What prevents HIV present in water from infecting through the tip of your penis?
Does a visit to an hot tub in a bathhouse warrant testing ? I am a little anxious since it was my first time.
