Nope,
You can only get HIV through blood, including blood transfusion, and sex (anal, oral, and vaginal). If you are a heroine user and you shoot up the drug through a needle, and you have HIV virus, and someone else uses that same needle they can also contract the virus as well. Those are the only ways.

No, it would take gallons of it, you mentioned that there are no other factors. Semen, vaginal fluids, breast milk and blood are the carriers of HIV. Your local public health web site should have more information for you.
The HIV can not live very long once exposed to oxygen, but if you are in a relationship or have close contact to an individual with HIV, do yourself the favor of becoming educated about it for both of your sakes.

Well, Paul Michael Glaser was married to a woman that got aids while she was having their first child. They didn't find out until 4 years later that she had aids, after she had another child. Yet Paul did not catch aids from her. So much for men catching aids from women. However, there are many children in Africa that have aids, and their parents don't have it, they never had sex or a needle in their body. How did they catch it? That doesn't happen in America. Well, in Africa body lice are common, as are bed bugs. Your brother is crazy to live with a room mate that has aids!

NO. Only once in the 25 year history or so of the disease has it been transmitted this way, that doctors and statisticians know of at least. Only one case has ever been proven, so the odds are in your favor that you cannot catch it. However, why take chances?
