Even though the pool water is chlorinated , at times the water goes inside our stomach during swimming.

yes it can, if somebody has a wound and there's blood in the swimming pool then there is a slight chance, but there not much chance to spread it, because the chloor I think neutralises it a little bit and a little bit blood in the swimming pool isn't so harmful, because if there's blood you would have to swell it then also or you would have to have a wound so there isn't much chance....

The HIV virus is not actually that robust and dies pretty quickly outside of the body that's why it requires very intimate contact to be passed on. It is very difficult to get it form saliva alone and the processes of digestion that would take place in an insect like a flea or a Mosquito before they pierced the skin of another person would render it ineffective. This is what the CDC (Centre for Disease Control) have to say: The results of experiments and observations of insect biting behavior indicate that when an insect bites a person, it does not inject its own or a previously bitten person's or animal's blood into the next person bitten. Rather, it injects saliva, which acts as a lubricant so the insect can feed efficiently. Diseases such as yellow fever and malaria are transmitted through the saliva of specific species of mosquitoes. However, HIV lives for only a short time inside an insect and, unlike organisms that are transmitted via insect bites, HIV does not reproduce (and does not survive) in insects. Thus, even if the virus enters a mosquito or another insect, the insect does not become infected and cannot transmit HIV to the next human it bites.

If you are having unprotected sex under the water, even chlorinated, then you might get contagious.
In case that you go to the pool to swim, no way.
The most you can get going to a public swimming pool is an itchy feet mycosis.

The HIV virus is easily killed by the chlorine in the pool. It is spread by dirty needles or sex.

Besides the stomache bit, only under very specific circumstances. Blood or other bodily fluid would have to come from the infected person into contact with the other person, through an open wound etc.

NO
If the chlorine didn't kill the virus, the stomach acid would.
No worries.

no it can't. hiv is not a water-borne virus...pools are big, so you've got dilution on your side.
hot tub might be another story...less dilution, and the hot temperature...hmm...not sure about that one.
pool, no.

NO! It can't,
Because Hiv spreads only by sex or used syringe or from parents to ofsprings.
