If smoking after some1 with hiv can u contract if say i bite my tounge so i have a sore and the other persons lip is cracked so they have a sore too??

Highly unlikely ....: but probably very remotely possible. The viral content of this amount of blood in the mouth or on a cigarette would be expected to be very low if even measureable. Obviously best policy would be to avoid sharing cigarettes, especially with someone who is HIV positive.
