I am not super partial to hot tubs - they are usually too hot or not hot enough. If they smell of chlorine, and the water is clean and does not have a foamy scum, they are safe. The chlirine kills anything that can harm you.
I have used plenty of steam rooms. I ALWAYS sit or lie on a clean towel and toss it when I come out (at health club or spa - it's their towel), and I wear shower thongs. As long as you keep yourself off the wet surfaces you will be fine. If you see ppl not showering before going in, say something. They are supposed to. And of course shower after.

Yes there is! I was watching a special Oprah had on television about different things people use in communities like hot tubs, bathrooms, and etc. Std's and sometimes sperm, because of the warm temperature, are able to live inside the water. Also because of the infrequency in which they are cleaned and treated with chlorine. You own persoanl hot tub is the safest.
