This is a multi-part answer. No, you cannot get "AIDS" from anything as it is a syndrome. You can, however, contract HIV which can progress into AIDS. The difference in the two is that HIV is a virus called the human immunodeficiency virus and is a lentivirus (a member of the retrovirus family) that causes acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS), a condition in humans in which the immune system begins to fail, leading to life-threatening opportunistic infections.

Infection with HIV occurs by the transfer of blood, semen, vaginal fluid, pre-ejaculate, or breast milk. Within these bodily fluids, HIV is present as both free virus particles and virus within infected immune cells. The four major routes of transmission are unsafe sex, contaminated needles, breast milk, and transmission from an infected mother to her baby at birth (Vertical transmission). Screening of blood products for HIV has largely eliminated transmission through blood transfusions or infected blood products in the developed world.

Thus, direct transfer of blood via an open wound could, if at least one of the people were HIV+, allow rapid transfer of the virus directly in the bloodstream.

That depends on if the house meaning Medical suplies, Food, and all other equiptment that the victim with aids uses is kept sanitary. Aids is transfered through bodily fluids, and it is said that saliva wont transfer it but I could be wrong. Just as long as you stay clean and dont come into contact with bodily fluids including having a sexual relationship, you should be okay.

Is it dangerous becoming blood brothers?

It depends. There are quite a few things to take into consideration. For one, either one of the two becoming blood brothers could have a disease (HIV, ect.) that they could exchange with their soon-to-be blood brother. Then there is the fact that more then likely, the two participants will have two different blood types. When you get a different type of blood into your system, your body rejects it and starts to fight it. This can be very dangerous. When two people become blood brothers, these are the main things to take into consideration.
