Can you get hiv from onsen in japan?

Last week i went to an onsen fully naked and went inside the tub where there are strangers. Is it possible to contract hiv ? Because at some point i think i wash my face with the water in the tub so I’m afraid it might have gotten in.

The ways that adults get HIV are by having unprotected vaginal or anal sex (penetrating) or sharing of IV drug needles.  This is not a risk for HIV.  No reason at all to be concerned.
