It is very possible, but the Blood Donating Centers around the U.S. always use fresh needles to take the risk away. All though it is a common fear associated with donating blood, but is completely unfounded. The reason being is all blood centers in the United States use new blood bags, needles, etc. on each donor. It has been a federal requirement for many years now.

Short answer: possibly.First of all, to contract AIDS, the person must be infected with the HIV virus.

If you get some infected blood on normal skin that is healthy, the chances of you contracting the HIV virus are slim to impossible (?).
