Best Answer

theoretically, if you were to place HIV in a cap full of rubbing alcohol, it would not live very long. Drinking alcohol will not kill HIV Rubbing it on a cut after suspected exposure helps, but does not guarantee that you dont get the virus. Cleaning your instruments and skin with alcohol before any type of injection is always recommended.
Yes.
