I know Gonorrhea, Chlamydia and any internal infections are exempt, but what about external ailments, like Herpes and HPV?
Herpes is spread by direct Skin to skin contact and by sex (Genital Herpes). You can get herpes simplex one (Cold Sores) simply by being kissed by someone who has them on their lips or Mouth area. Genital herpes (herpes simplex 2) can be spread by having direct skin contact (like rubbing) or by having sex with a person who has it. Even if the person is not showing an sores, they can still be "shedding" the virus, which can cause you to get it.
HPV is spread the same way. Direct skin to skin contact and sex. If a person has Genital warts, hand or feet warts (all caused by HPV), you can get them by just rubbing or touching them. You can also get HPV from sex. It is the number one STD in the world, because there really are no signs or symptoms from it.
As for getting it in the hot tub, I really doubt it. I have both viruses and I have NEVER gave it to anyone that I shared a hot tub with (family, friends, boyfriends, etc.) I think the only possible way you would get it is if you were rubbing, direct skin to skin contact, with someone who has the virus in the hot tube. Its not like the virus is "floating around" in the hot tub though.
Personal experience. I have both viruses.
