No risk, no worries: I think you've asked other questions about non-standard HIV transmission risks. Here is all you need to avoid HIV forever: do not have unsafe sex with new or unknown partners, and do not share drug injection equipment with anyone. That's all. There are NO other risks you need to worry about. There has never been a known case from sharing a bath, even with bleeding by an infected person.
