Possible: If there is blood in the mouth and they spit in your eye, there is possibility to develop hiv, if they are infected. But it has also to do with their viral count and their antiviral treatment. Many of HIV infected patients are in remission on the medications available today. So they may not have any viral load to infect anyone. In either way, precaution should be taken and be tested.
