Most, if not all biologicals, including viruses and bacteria die after, at most, about five (5) minutes in rolling, (hard) boiling water. Hospitals and clinics sterilize their tools and equipment in an autoclave, which uses steam and pressure to kill viruses and bacteria. The syringe or equipment / tools must be disassembled before boiling, in order to reach all the parts of the tool or syringe. I am no doctor , therefore I do not guarantee any of my answers.
