This is all a bit of a technicality. AIDS is a result of HIV, much like a fever is the result of the flu. A fever is not contagious, but the flu is. AIDS is not contagious, but HIV is.

AIDS is a syndrome, not the actual virus. The actual virus is HIV, which is contagious. HIV is what is passed from person to person through blood, unprotected sex, sharing needles, and a few other routes. Once a person has HIV, they will develop AIDS as an effect of the virus.
