Touching someone's blood on a band-aid is never a good idea. However, in the case of HIV infection, its not all that risky.
HIV cannot penetrate intact skin. Furthermore, HIV doesn't live long outside the body, so the likelyhood is that it would be dead before you'd come in contact with the band-aid.
Still yet, if you see a bloody band-aid, steer clear unless you have proper barriers (gloves) to prevent you from coming in contact with other diseases.
