Very unlikley: HIV infection can occur after body fluids from an infected person come into contact with your mucous membranes - mouth, genitals, rectum, etc. Safe sex practices or abstinence as well as avoiding IV drug use can prevent transmission. In the past, people became infected after dirty needles were used in healthcare settings and tattoo parlors or after blood transfusion, but these are rare today.
