Surely we all know how HIV is contracted by blood to blood contact? If the other people using the pipe bled onto it via open sores on the lips, and you also had an open wound , then yes.

It is very improbable. If you want to catch HIV, the easiest way is a small contaminated blood transfusion. If needles aren't available, receptive anal sex with an untreated HIV-positive person with a heavy viral load is also a very easy and effective way to contract HIV. Waaaayyyy more effective than sharing a pipe with some diseased DMT/HIV junkie.

It's not possible to contract HIV from sharing a pipe. The numbness was probably brought on by the DMT. The first and only time I've ever smoked DMT My lips also got numb.

A crack pipe is a short stem made of thin glass with a piece or steel mesh shoved in the end. They break pretty easy and get shorter and shorter to the point they get really really hot. When you smoke crack you often dont notice bevause you are trying to suck in the biggest hit you can, and it makes your lips numb.
So a lot of crackheads get a big open burn sore on thier lips, so if you were to pass that blood borne disease might pass if they next user has a crack in their lips. It doesnt matter what you smoke just how hot the pipe gets, a weed pipe doesnt get like that.
I could see a meth pipe like the OP used gettimg that hot but I doubt he was hitting it that hard
You can also get aids thru blood in mucus on a coke straw.
Did you smoke up with someome who has the aid?

Reguardless, I've always wondered if you use a needle that has been used by someone with HIV how high is the probablity of infection? Anyone any idea?

If you research the actual odds of getting hiv through anything else other than a blood transfusion, you'll see that rates of transmission are actually fairly low. Even if you have receptive anal sex with someone with hiv, you are still much more likely to not get it than to get it.

My mother suffered from the HI-virus and died 24 years ago, she was a heroin-addict. When I was born I was already on opiates, too. Bad situation for any infant. 
She got the infection because as a group they shared nonsterile equipment. I can't say how high the probabilities are.. but one time may be enough to get it.
If you do anything IV, make sure to use sterile syringes and needles! Use them one time only, then throw them away well parcelled!

Sorry to hear that. Although it may be a low possibility I guess many drug users who end up getting HIV, may use infected needles quite a few times before getting unlucky.

As far as I know the virus dies quickly when beeing exposed to air / oxigen. That's the reason why it's quite impossible to get infected by handshake, saliva / blood on a pipe / whatsoever, or other ways with oxigen being around.
Having this in mind, I think the first nonhazardous person who uses an "infected" needle is the one who get's most likely infected.
But who knows..

Inside a rig the virus is pretty protected from the air. Most people at least rinse the blood out of thier works if you share. I dont know the probability but it definitly is high risk.
Back in the day before insulin syringess were really available the works were hard to use on yourself. So most people used a eye dropper w needle fitted on the end amd the bulb from a pacifyer in place of syringe. People got in the habit of squeezing the bulb a few time to squirt the blood in and out of thier arm to get anything left in the shot. I imagine it was much easier to catch blood borne illness from a dropper
Anyways sharing works is gross. Thy say to rinse w water 3x then bleach 3x then water 3x. The needle exchange advises that

dude what you felt was dmt resin on your lips, it dries the absolute fuck out of your lips and it makes them feel a bit sore/tender, same thing happens when you smoke dmt out of a bong.
you'll live.
