Does water (i.e a Jacuzzi) have to be a certain temperature for HIV/AIDS Virus to die


Does water (i.e a Jacuzzi) have to be a certain temperature for HIV/AIDS Virus to die?
Lets say an individual who was infected with HIV/AIDS ejaculated into a Jacuzzi, Does the jacuzzi have to be a certain temperature for the virus to die or dilute to the point where its not infectious? I saw two gays in a jacuzzi in gym engaging in sexual contact. So im just curious.

HIV is a fragile virus. It will be killed on exposure to air for a few minutes. It is no match therefore for the warm water in the jacuzzi. I have researched on the virus for a long time, and know that its loses its viability even when kept refrigerated in a suitable medium. We try and store it at -30 or -80 deg C to preserve its life. Don't worry about getting transmitted through the jacuzzi water, have fun in it!
