HIV is not able to live outside the human body for long. Once exposed to air, the virus will die within a matter of minutes.

However, in the case of a syringe, the interior is a vacuum and is devoid of air, which means the virus can live longer. The best practice is to avoid using needles unless you are sure they are new.

It is possible to properly clean needles. The CDC (Centers for Disease Control) suggests using a solution of 1 part bleach, 2 parts water to clean and flush products before using.
