My girlfriend has a drug problem--she is addicted to painkillers. She just recently decided that she prefers to snort pills rather than take them orally. This past week, one of her friends (a girl) who also likes to snort pills came over and I noticed that they had been sharing a snorting straw when doing their business. I have no knowledge of whether this other girl is HIV/AIDS positive, but I'm curious as to whether or not my girlfriend was at risk of contracting the virus.

Possible through the lining and fluids in the nose.

Yes. If the girl that may have HIV/AIDS got mucous from her nose on it and then your girlfriend touched the inside of her nose with the same straw she may contract it. Confront her about it to make sure that she is safe :)
3 :
Yes it is possible, but not probable.
4 :
Yes. There is also a risk of transmission of Hep C this way. Encourage your friend to get help for her addiction.
