Yes, not many people know to brush your gums, but you can get all sorts of infections from not brushing them. Depending on the size of your toothbrush, some people could be able to brush their teeth and gums in one go. If they bleed - do NOT stop. This is a good sign. It means they obviously had some sort of disease and you are getting rid it. Keep brushing until the bleeding stops. I went through a faze of being too scared to brush my teeth as my gums were always bleeding, but now they are really good.

Tell-tale signs of infection are colour (red) and level of soreness.

Brush teeth, tounge, cheeks and gums. Also, buy a mouthwash, I recomend Listerine.
