cdc says hiv can be transmitted through sports however here at medhelp there is no risk for hiv in sports but cdc says very low risk but still a risk
"There are no documented cases of HIV being transmitted during participation in sports. The very low risk of transmission during sports participation would involve sports with direct body contact in which bleeding might be expected to occur"

By your own post - "There are no documented cases of HIV being transmitted during participation in sports. The very low risk of transmission during sports participation would involve sports with direct body contact in which bleeding might be expected to occur"
Sounds more like a theoretical risk, and more importantly, the statement is too generic. Exposure risks should be evaluated on individual basis.
