My friend's kitchen is really dirty sometimes when she has us over for dinner. I notice things like meat juice on the counter, her not washing veggies and fruits before using them, meat not fully cooked, etc.
I am nervous about getting sick from eating there, but I don't want to hurt her feelings, what should I do? And not going there anymore isn't an option. Thanks.

Tell her that you feel bad about her going to all the trouble of cooking for you, and that you'd feel better if she'd let you clean up. Then take care of the kitchen like you would your own.
As for the partially-raw meat, if it's pork or chicken it really does need to be totally cooked. If you're worried about it, ask to borrow the microwave for a minute and finish the job. You can tell her that you've heard a lot of stories about things that you can catch if the meat isn't done enough and "it's probably silly but it makes me feel better" to get it done.

My suggestion would be to go over and "help" her next time she wants to cook. Politely try to show her to wash the veggies and ask where the 409 is to wipe the counter cop with. Also, it's not rude to comment on raw meat- tell her polite if it's red meat that you like your meat well done. Also try inviting her over more so you don't have to go over there. And for Christmas and gift- perhaps get her some basic cookbooks or a subscription to Martha Steward Magazine.

Why you don't you help her make dinner by washing the fruits/vegetables , buy her a meat thermometer, and offer to clean while she is cooking. There's lots you can do and giving her hints like talking about the latest on salmonella poisoning, or the danger of raw meat. Tell her you heard it on the news. If she's really your friend she can handle the truth and will respect your opinion of her cleanliness.

Let your friend know that you would like to help her cook the next time she invites you over, and maybe she could pick up some "sanitation" habits.

Couple things you could do:
-Offer to come over earlier and help prepare the meal
-Offer to "bring something" that they don't prepare well or sanitarily
-Suggest going out to eat instead, dutch treat.

Offer to help with the cooking or cleanup.

call her home, cook in her presence. Keep your kitchen tidy, she'll learn a lesson.
