Can HIV Be Contracted Through Consumption Of Bodily Fluids?

default
Posted on Fri, 9 Dec 2016
Question: I recently went to a spa and in the all man section they had a bade pool. I am not sure if it had chlorine or not. However is there any potential HIV or STD risk from being in that pool whether or not it had chlorine? From fluid that could maybe go in me or if I have a cut? Just want to make sure of any potential risk.
