Can i get hiv from a dog bite?

No: Just no. I wish they were all this easy to answer. I'm sorry you were bitten by a dog, and these bites can get nasty bacterial infections. Best wishes.

Nope: Dogs don't carry HIV. Wash the bite out well and make sure your tetanus is up to date. If the dog hasn't been vaccinated for rabies- see your doctor.
