No! It isn't really possible for many reasonss to include dilution and chlorine. In addition, body fluids are not normally released in a pool!

No, 99.999999% of the time: when Syphilis stage 3 occurs then it can be communicated by casual contact with the infected member. But, that takes many years to develop. Usually the infected subject dies before reaching that stage, or seeks treatment. So feel safe in a pool.

I don't think so, at least there aren't any documented reports of it. I believe the chemicals in the pool would neutralize any threat of contracting anything. As funny and illogical as it sounds I"m more paranoid about public restrooms than public pools..

probably not. a swimming pool is full of chemicals and most std's are not transferable through casual contact; there has to be sexual contact. go take a class at your local health district regarding std's...they do offer them for a minimal charge.

STD's are acquired by intimate sexual contact..Intercourse, anal or oral sex..not toilet seats, swimming pools..yes HIV, Hepatitis can be blood or body fluid transmitted not necessarily from sexual contact..if you are concerned about yourself set an exam and STD testing..make sure your partner wears a condom unless your absolutely convinced that you are in a monogamous relationship.

STDs can only be sread by either having sex or sharing bodily fluids. i.e sharing needles. You can't get an STD by kissing either, you'd need to drink 7 pints of spit to catch an STD. So i guess there's nothing to be worried about

No, STDs are spread through contact with infected tissue during the sex act.

Not unless you have sex in the water with someone that has a STD.
And stay cautious. That's a good thing.

i highly doubt it, there are alot of chemicals in pools to kill bacteria, but if youve got OCD id go to your doctor and ask just to put your mind at rest and if you dont know what OCD is is obsessive compulsive disorder eg. you need to be clean all the time, Cameron had it in Hollyoaks, ive been diagnosed with slight OCD myself, its really common

erm... no, but anything is possible, if a person who is hiv+ has a cut in the swimmingpool and so do u them maybe but the chances are pretty slim (dnt let this put people off swimming)
