There was a text alert on my phone about pepsi being contaminated with aids. Is that true.

Nope. The text you received about Pepsi being contaminated with AIDS is yet another widespread urban legend. The warning started spreading in July 2011 in text messages and across the Internet, and has recently been revived again in September 2012, spreading all over. The incorrect messages state that a worker at the cola plant "injected" or "added" their infected blood to the product, or to all products made by the company.

Sometimes the message says "HIV" instead, sometimes it says "AIDS", but one thing's for sure - it's definitely not true. The simple fact is that HIV doesn't live long outside its host (whether the host is blood or another fluid), so if blood or another type of host infected with HIV were mixed into any foods or into a beverage, the virus simply wouldn't survive long enough to infect someone.

Although the CDC has confirmed that there have been rare cases of people becoming infected with HIV after swallowing or through oral contact with bodily fluids infected with the virus, they have all involved sex-related contact. No infections resulting from oral transmission of HIV have ever come from ingestion of or contact with a beverage or food product, according to the CDC.

Here's a video from someone else who got the same text message, talking about why and how it can't be true:
