Generally speaking no. If you have no cuts or open sores in your mouth (including your gums and lips), the likelihood of transmission is almost certainly nonexistant.
However, anytime that infected blood is introduced to a cut or open sore (split lip, small cuts in the gums from brushing, etc), however, there is a chance for infection. It's a relatively small chance, especially in the mouth, as saliva has components that inhibit HIV.
Despite the limited chances, it's safer not to taste someone's blood if they're infected or of unknown status (and safest to not taste it at all).
And to address the answer given here previously, you can NOT contract HIV simply by LOOKING at blood. Medical workers wear goggles to prevent potential infection from blood splashing into their eyes.

∙ 13y agoThey only way that you can get the HIV virus (which turns INTO AIDS) is if you come into contact with the bodily fluid of someone who ALREADY has it. If you drink your own blood, you are safe unless you have the disease already. If you already have HIV, then eventually you will develop AIDS. There is no cure for this disease currently, and if you already have HIV, then drinking your own blood won't matter. Be careful when coming into contact with OTHER people's blood though, as it is possible to getf HIV this way if you don't take the necessary precautions.
