No.

The HIV virus is spread through the exchange of bodily fluid, such as blood, urine, etc. The only way that you could get HIV from food and/or water is if there was a significant amount of blood or other bodily fluid contained in it. And as for the water, you would have to have an open cut on your body and have the blood come in contact with it for you to become infected. If you swallowed water containing blood, there is a slight possibility of you becoming infected. If you are concerned about obtaining HIV from a friend or someone close to you:

1)Do not have sexual intercourse with them (This includes all kinds of sex i.e. oral, anal, etc.

2) Do not share needles or other objects that penetrate the skin.

3) Don't touch blood or bodily fluid of the infected person(s)

4)If you are really concerned, avoid drinking/eating after the person(s) due to the slight chance they may have a sore in their mouth; thus transferring it to the utensil they are using, in consequence, when you use it it is transferred to you. (And you could be infected if you have a sore as well.)

*

You need many microliters of virus to become infected; so drinking from the same glass is really not a risk but tongue-kissing (exchanging saliva) is a risk.
