Brief Answer:
You can get lice but not hiv

Detailed Answer:
Hello,

If someone has hair lice and if you comb your hair with the same brush you can get lice too.
This can't be related to HIV. Even if she was bleeding you can't get HIV if she hasn't it.
You can get lice from her but not HIV.
Don't worry about hiv
