If someone has A.I.D.s, and they go swimming?

If a person with A.I.D.s relieve's themselve's in the swimming pool, is A.I.D.s transferable in that manner?

Answer:
No. AIDS is not transferable in this manner. AIDS can only be transmitted through blood, or other bodily fluids discluding saliva and urine.

Although if you have AIDS it is not particularly wise to swim in a public pool due to the risk of infection, and the amount of bacteria that you would risk hosting.
yes, it hypothetically can be. There is often a little blood that comes out with bowel movements because of hemmorhoids or other such things. The more immediate danger would be fecal contamination, though.
No the chlorine in the pool will kill it. IF it could even be transmitted by urine (not quite sure on that point).
no. it is not transferrable. it can only be transferred through sex, blood, or being born from a mother who has AIDS. ALthough people with AIDS should not swim in a public pool because of in case they get cut or any of their internal fluids seeps into the pool.
sorry its not possible. back in the 80s there was the mosquito transmission scare. the hiv virus can't survive outside the human body -- it needs the high and exacting temperatures to survive and probably some other things we dont understand yet. to date there has never been a transfer of hiv other than direct internal contact of bodily fluids.
