Blood banks generally screen blood before it's distributed. However, he should get tested regularly for six months after the possible infections.

If I understood the question correctly-your buddy was injected with HIV infected blood? If this is true he needs to get tested as soon as possible because it is very likely he is infected and think about going to a different hospital, that should not have happened, hospitals are supposed to test blood for that before giving it to other patients. He should also get as much documentation about the incident as possible, because if he did get HIV from a blood transfusion and it is the hospitals fault then he should report them....I don't know what him being black has to do with it, but again I strongly suggest he get an HIV test and go to a different hospital.

Colour has nothing to do with it, but the correct time to be tested so a negative means negative is at 3 months. Yes HIV can easily be spread by blood, and is the usual cause of infection in drug users as they often share needles, Also this is one reason why ambulance personell and police always wear gloves to deal with bleeding people. Not sure why him being black has anything to do with it, unless he thinks that they deliberately infect black people with HIV in hospitals, in which case he is most definitely paranoid

Using blood products from a person who has HIV puts the user at an unacceptably high risk for infection.

100%.
HIV is in all your cells in your body.
But why is he worried, blood from the hospital is very safe, they check for HIV and AIDS before they pass that out, and you cant even donate blood if you admit youve even done anything to put you at risk for that within the last I think 48 hours, then they still test it.

There are cent percent chances, but one can not feel it going up in his vein.
The feeling the person had was just psychological one.

HIV doesn't care about your ethnicity. now if someone has been injecting others with HIV+ blood, they are committing a crime!

Depends on how it was used...? If he had a blood transfusion, very likely. And it doesn't matter what color your friend is, HIV/AIDS is colorblind.
