The virus attempts to take over the host cell's DNA, and if successful, when the host cells divide via mitosis, instead of making copies of a healthy cell, the system produces new copies of the virus infected cell, which leads to an infection.

If someone gets their blood on you will you get aids?

Short answer: possibly.First of all, to contract AIDS, the person must be infected with the HIV virus. If the person is infected with the HIV virus (which causes aids) and you get their blood on an open wound, or a mucus membrane such as the mouth, it is possible. If you get some infected blood on normal skin that is healthy, the chances of you contracting the HIV virus are slim to impossible (?).
