It is not possible to be itnecfed this way. Once HIV is outside the body, exposed to air, it only survives for a few minutes. Once any fluids containing the virus are dried, the virus is already dead. Making it wet again will not make it infectious again.(The reason that blood in syringes, whether fresh or dried, continues to be infectious is that the syringe is an airtight environment in which the virus can survive for longer periods of time.)
