This should not be a concern during blood transfusions as all blood donations are taken very carefully after an extensive breakdown of the individual donating blood in terms of their eligibility. In terms of HIV and other sexually transmitted diseases, the individual who has contracted such a disease would have to wait one year after the disease and treatments have passed. It is essential that anyone who donates blood makes sure that they are aware of their own conditions and that they donate through a credible center to ensure that no harm will be done during a eventual blood transfusion. In general however, this should really not be a concern as most blood centers demonstrate the utmost of care.

If it's the blood of someone who's HIV positive - then yes. Actually, you can if the blood is HIV positive, hasn't been exposed to the air for an extended period of time, and you have an open sore anywhere in your mouth or esophagus. If not, then the risk is minimal. HIV cannot survive in the air for very long at all. Also, the digestive acids found in your stomach will destroy the HIV. There's actually a greater risk of contracting Hepatitis. Hepatitis can live outside the body for up to 2 weeks and can be transmitted via the saliva. Personally, I don't make a habit of swallowing blood and advise against taking the risk.
