No. the aids virus needs a consistent environment and dies easily outside the body. Acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) is caused by a virus known as Human Immunodeficiency Virus(HIV). HIV is contagious and can be transmitted from person to person. HIV can be transmitted during sexual contact, sharing contaminated needles, from mother to child through breast milk or during birth. HIV has also been spread as the result of contaminated blood products.

No. You can only get the HIV virus from someone else, who has it first. It can only be passed on through sexual intercourse, or by sharing drug needles. ALWAYS use a condom when having sex, and ALWAYS use a clean (or sterile) needle when injecting drugs. That's the only way to stop HIV.
Water used for injecting drugs? Needs more explanation. Do you mean something used at a hospital or on the street?
