Possible but low : Risk. It is not clear what you mean by HIV infected water? If you mean water tasted by an HIV infected person and then thrown in your eye, the risk is very low. See this site for more info in this subject. http://www.cdc.gov/hiv/basics/transmission.html.

HIV is Hard To Get: Nope. There is no risk here. The eye is a very good barrier to this infection.
