awaiting for your answer.

Answer
Well, ANY unprotected sex (oral, vaginal and anal) leaves someone at risk for HIV. Unprotected anal sex carries the most risk for HIV out of the three.

Someone has to be HIV  to pass the virus on to someone else. If your brother does not have HIV, then he could not give it to you.
