bath tub open sore

if one was to take a bath with pretty hot water, and there was some sperm floating in the water would there be a risk of infection to the cut on the anus?

Hiv transmission through contact with surfaces is very uncommon j-204. This does not happen-hiv does not live outside it's host awaiting opportunity. Direct active contact is required for transmission, these conditions don't even come close to being a risk...

Scrubbin' bubbles...before you jump in my friend. The last time i took a bath i was in the single digits...showers are the way to go if your living in a dorm -or- where ever it is you live that someone leaves off there sperm in the tub without cleaning it up J-204.
