HIV is unable to reproduce outside its living host (unlike many bacteria or fungi, which may do so under suitable conditions), except under laboratory conditions; therefore, it does not spread or maintain infectiousness outside its host.

HIV is transmitted by;
Unprotected penetrative anal and vaginal sex
Sharing works with other IV drug abusers
Mother to child

Does it make a difference if there is alot of blood?
my cut was still healing but wasnt bleeding does that mean my cut was unable to let HIV in my blood stream?
