If HIV+: You have to have HIV infection to transmit HIV infection. However, if you have HIV infection but not aids, you could transmit HIV through blood.

YES!!!!: About one in eight Americans with HIV do not realize they are infected with the virus and those people account for nearly one-third of HIV transmissions in the United States, according to a Centers for Disease Control and Prevention report. http://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nation/2015/06/27/hiv-undiagnosed-cdc/29290667/
