I tasted blood after eating and brushing my teeth from take out, am i'm going to get aids?

No: HIV infection occurs by exchanging body fluids with someone who is HIV-positive. It is not possible to get this infection from takeout food. If your gums continue to bleed after brushing, I would recommend flossing more and seeing your dentist.
