Is it possible for thermophilic viruses to infect humans?

I'm writing a short story that focuses on an area with high thermophile activity, like a hot spring. There are known thermophile viruses, but thermophiles aren't able to transmit these to humans because our bodies are too cold. So we don't know what exactly these viruses could do to a human host if conditions existed for these viruses to be transmitted. I'm struggling to figure out a workaround for this and could use some help. Is there any way that it would be possible somehow to infect a human host with a thermophile virus?
