Can HIV be transmitted in swimming pool water?

“HIV cannot be spread by sharing washing facilities or swimming in the same pool with an HIV-infected person...”

That nice to know - I also heard that it can be spread by kissing - but would you kiss someone with HIV?

A friend of mine worked at a YMCA for a long time, and they had specific germicidal cleaning procedures for every conceivable bodily fluid or excretion. If someone bled on the floor in the weight room, they had a specific cleaner and a specific procedure to use to clean up the blood and kill any and all possible infectious agents.

However, per their procedures, chlorinated pool water was a permissible substitute for any of the cleaners. It kills everything decisively, including HIV.

Authorities have lied from the beginning about transmission methods.

The list grew quite a bit over the years.

You know this.
