excellent question !

Not likely as such. Blood upon contact with regular water actually ruptures. Due to osmotic imbalance, the cells break open and release their contents, thus forming the bright red colours. If blood was put into a saline solution with the same osmotic pressure, you will see that blood is actually cloudy because the cells are suspended instead. If the blood cells rupture in the water, and carry HIV/AIDS, I don't know enough if they will survive in that environment or if similar things will happen.

I don't think so, and i don't think there is nearly enough to infect us. However, the virus itself is absolutely miniscule. Why are you worried?
4 :
If this were possible don't you think we would all be infected by now? You are talking about dumping large amounts as in thousands of gallons of blood into the water supply at some point. which would have to be done by some kind of terrorist group. You thinking about doing something like this?

no.HIV is a non- water loving virus!
