Technically...: If the vomit had blood in it then technically yes. Per studies done on contraction of HIV from body fluid exposure the incidence of contracting HIV per 10,000 people exposed is "negligible." Speak to your doctor if you are concerned and want to discuss prophylactic treatment and testing.
