First it depends on the risk of exposure, that is if you have some kind of bruise or wound, where the blood has touched you stand a high chance of contracting HIV, but if you have no wound or skin damage the chances of acquiring the virus are limited.

It is advisable after exposure that you take an HIV test after a period of around 3 months to rule out the possibility of being infected while at the same time you need to continue to avoid the other modes of HIV transmission such as sharing unsterilized HIV contaminated skin piercing instruments and unprotected sexual intercourse, among others.

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 (?).
