They can get infected if they have break down of the oral mucosa like mouth ulcers. If the mucosa is intact that means no contact with blood stream and no infection with HIV.

If things happens fast like dropped the infected blood inside the drink and the other person drinks it instantly and has ulcers or gum disease i believe can get HIV but if the infected blood stays long time in the glass before the other person drinks the virus may not survive.

Drinking instantly after the the infected blood placed is similar to someone having oral sex with someone having positive HIV with ulcers or gum disease in the mouth.
