Yes it is possible to contract it for unprotected dipping. Use a condom always and you won't have a risk.

HIV is transmitted by,
Unprotected anal or vaginal sex
Sharing works with other IV drug abusers
Mother to child

It's not a garantee that you will contract it on an exposure with a an HIV positive person but it is a garantee if you do it often enough with any of the above you will contract it.
