There are no documented cases of HIV being transmitted during
participation in sports. The very low risk of transmission during
sports participation would involve sports with direct body contact in
which bleeding might be expected to occur.
If someone is bleeding, their participation in the sport should be
interrupted until the wound stops bleeding and is both antiseptically
cleaned and securely bandaged. There is no risk of HIV
transmission through sports activities where bleeding does not
occur.
