Not likely. Don't share food and make-up and combs and brushes with people. Below is a link to the Center for Disease Control.

Absolutely not. HIV transmission is primarily done sexually. It is a bloodborne disease. Your saliva cannot contain the virus as it does not shed. It is found in the blood stream. You would have to drink gallons of her saliva or engage in unprotected sex with her to even have a 4-10% chance of getting sick. Please get educated on HIV/AIDS as this will be what protects you. If you walk around thinking that swapping spit with someone is what gives you AIDS, you are out of your mind. People like you are the type who will get it the first time they have sex because they don't know how to be safe.

The answer is no. And you can't tell if a person has AIDS just by looking at them, so please don't spread rumors about this poor girl.
4 :
HIV/AIDS can only be transmitted by sexual intercourse, from mother-to-child (through pregnancy and the womb), and by sharing drug needles. So a lollipop just won't do the trick. And if she was infected with HIV/AIDS, the only symptoms that would show would be her deteriorating immune system, which would mean that the virus HIV would be turning into AIDS, and even the slightest cold could be deadly to her. I doubt she has HIV/AIDS, because if you can tell, then she's probably not going to school, but lying down sick. Just my thoughts...

you cant get HIV from sharing drinks, food, chapstick etc. but you can get meningitis or mono unless you have gotten shots. HIV is only transmitted through oral,anal, and vaginal sex; and/or sharing needles. saliva,tears, sweat. and pee dont have enough HIV to get you infected
