Can you get HIV/AIDS from sharing a plastic bottle?

Can you get HIV/AIDS from sharing a plastic bottle?

About a week ago I drank from a plastic bottle of whiskey after a group of somewhat careless people, some I knew and others I did not.  Of those I did not, I noticed one had a fresh tattoo (the area had an ice pack still taped over it) and another had mentioned he had been in prison.  While I know that doesn't necessarily mean anything, I do know it is possible to be infected from unclean tattoo equipment and prison has a reputation of being a high-risk place for infection.  Additionally, I had major dental implant surgery about a month ago (there are exposed metal posts in my gums, I'm a bit concerned about that as far as infection goes) and I don't know if my gums were bleeding or not for bad dental habits.  

I know this all sounds silly but I did not find another question in the forums already that quite matches my case, but I would greatly appreciate a reply, thanks.
