Answers:
Yes, there is always that slight possibility.

AIDS can be transmitted from blood to an open wound. From saliva it is possible in theory but I think there are no known cases.
No. AIDs cannot be transfered from one person to the next by traveling out of their body, through chlorinated water, and into yours. It takes a whole lot of saliva (I remember sitting in a class about AIDs and they said something like six gallons!!!) to infect someone else.
Yes for the saliva no for the swimming- public pools have chemicals added like bleach to prohibit the spread of germs.
No, but you can get HIV which leads to AIDs though.
Who Can Get HIV?
Anyone can get HIV if they engage in certain activities. You may have a higher risk of getting HIV if you:
Have unprotected sex. This means vaginal or anal intercourse without a condom or oral sex without a latex barrier with a person infected with HIV.
Share needles to inject drugs or steroids with an infected person. The disease can also be transmitted by dirty needles used to make a tattoo or in body piercing.
Receive a blood transfusion from an infected person. This is very unlikely in the U.S. and Western Europe, where all blood is tested for HIV infection.
Are born to a mother with HIV infection. A baby can also get HIV from the breast milk of an infected woman.
yes to the 1st and no to the second unless she stands up and drips on your cut hopefully that would not happen
You are not at risk if you are swimming with a person that is on their menstual cycle.
Actually, a componet in saliva blocks HIV from infecting cells and is being studied in depth as a means of prevention and treatment.
