There is ZERO risk from getting scratched even if there is fluids on there nails, HIV is rendered inactive and unable to infect once exposed to air.

Unlikely, but not impossible.

HIV is spread by the transfer of bodily fluids. If you get scratched hard enough to bleed, then there's an open path into your blood stream. If the one doing the scratching would have fresh blood or semen (from themselves) on their nails when they scratched you there is a small possibility.
