No, you can not get AIDS from this. Chickens do not get HIV/AIDS.
Some animals (such as cats) have their own type of AIDS virus - but it can not infect us.
It's very unlikely that blood would manage to get into a pin prick anyway.

No. Many animals have their own type of aids, which they usually live with. Men caught aids originally by eating a monkey who's virus had mutated to a form that could infect us. Salmonella doesn't live in the blood, but in the feces or on the outside. To my belief there is no real reason to 'go and get tested' for anything, unless you developed some symptoms of illness. And also, blood getting INTO a pin-prick is unlikely unless you tried to rub it in.

Whilst HIV may live for a short while outside of the body, HIV transmission has not been reported as a result of contact with spillages or small traces of blood, semen or other bodily fluids. This is partly because HIV dies quite quickly once exposed to the air, and also because spilled fluids would have to get into a person's bloodstream to infect them. Scientists agree that HIV does not survive well in the environment, making the chance of environmental transmission remote. To obtain data on the survival of HIV, laboratory studies usually use artificially high concentrations of laboratory-grown virus. Although these concentrations of HIV can be kept alive for days or even weeks under controlled conditions, studies have shown that drying of these high concentrations of HIV reduces the amount of infectious virus by 90 to 99 percent within a few hours. Since the HIV concentrations used in laboratory studies are much higher than those actually found in blood or other specimens, the real risk of HIV infection from dried bodily fluids is probably close to zero. Incorrect interpretation of conclusions drawn from laboratory studies have unnecessarily alarmed some people. REPEAT: "laboratory studies usually use artificially high concentrations of laboratory-grown virus."

Did you butcher this chicken yourself? I believe, If you bought it at a grocery store then that is not real blood, it's just juice from the chicken. (They have to use a lot of water to clean the chicken.) They do not sell chicken with blood still in it's veins.

It depends whether you bought the chicken. If it came from a store then it is highly unlikely that a) the blood was fresh and b) that it was infected anything.
However, if it was as you say a fresh kill, then it is possible - but very unlikely. I'm no expert but there are very few poultry diseases that can affect humans, so I wouldn't worry.

Not unless the chicken had aids!

you can't get aids by a chicken but you can get salmonella which is really serious, and other harmful infections, you should go to your doctor and get yourself tested for it.

chickens do not carry aids, but they do carry salmonella, so I would watch that wound closely for infection, clean it, apply antibiotic ointment and a bandage.
