Technically yes, especially if you use a needle that has very recently been through someone who has the virus. There is no documented case of this ever occurring.
If you go to a professional who uses a new sterilized needle, your chances of catching it are pretty well nil.

∙ 14y agoHIV (Human Immunodeficiency Virus) is the virus that causes AIDS (Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome). HIV is transmitted through contact with infected blood, semen, vaginal fluid or breast milk.
Having a new piercing that is not healed does increase one's risk for infection. However, in order to be an HIV risk your piercing would have to be in a location that came in contact with one or more of the above mentioned fluids. Generally speaking, piercing of or around the genitals would be of biggest concern.
Once a piercing has healed however, the risk is essentially the same.

But tetanus, MRSA, hepatitis and even HIV can in fact be the result of using a sewing needle to do any form of body piercing. Poor sterilization or no sterilization is the main concern, alcohol soaking, using a flame under the needle and several other "home brew" methods of sterilization are not effective.
