Can you get hiv by drinking out of someone else's water bottle that might have had blood on the bottle top? spat it out 1-2 mins later.

No: I would say you have a better chance of getting struck by lightning 3 times than catching HIV from blood on a bottle top. HIV virus cannot survive on environmental surfaces like plastic (or water).
