Well, while I can't say that it's safe for someone who has HIV (or any other blood-borne infection) to be directly bleeding into food that you're eating, even if that happens, the odds of the virus surviving through the process of cooking whatever it is he bled into is very low. So while I cannot say that it is impossible to contract HIV in that manner, the odds are not very good.
I would say that someone in that position should follow the same set of guidelines that anyone else preparing food would. If he cuts himself in preparation, he should stop what he's doing, wash the wound, bandage it properly, then keep it covered and not return to preparing food until it is not bleeding and there is no risk of contaminating what he works with.

Aid is passed on through bodily fluids (blood seman etc.) So it is very unlikely the whole school population has it!

I have often wondered the same thing! I am sure, like the others said, that it is not probable, but it is interesting - here's a star!

Um not so much, unless your secretly doing the guy and this is just a ploy question???????

its unlikely but i wouldn't want him preparing my food.

yes
