The odds of HIV transmitting through such a scenario is extremely unlikely. Because of the frailty of the virus, any exposure to air will break the virus down within minutes.
There is some debate that in a vessel such as a needle, it may be possible for the virus to stay intact for longer, due to blood in the needle being minimally exposed to air. However because HIV will also die in temperatures deviating more than 3 or 4 degrees from the human norm, even if the HIV virus were to escape death through air exposure, temperature will kill it shortly. Thus even HIV in needles will not be able to survive for more than perhaps 10 minutes.
So while it is technically plausible for such a scenario to happen, the window of opportunity is extremely small and thus extremely unlikely.

How can HIV virus transmit through syringes?
HIV is transmitted through bodily fluids, therefore, if you share a needle and there is any trace of contaminated blood or other bodily fluid left on the syringe from the previous user, you could contract HIV.
Can hiv virus survive in gauge of syringe?
Yes it can, for a period of time.
How is drug use use linked to the risk of HIV in women?
If your using a dirty or used syringe, an std could enter your bloodstream when you shoot up.
Can you get HIV from?
when you had sex with a person who has the virus, when you have sex with different partners and if you used a syringe or infused with blood that came from a person having HIV.
Does the blood cells in a syringe have to be alive to get HIV?
Time and amount blood in a syringe from an infected person determines how long HIV virus is still active. Infected blood exposed to air, once dried had died (becomes inert) and is no longer infectious. In a Syringe the life of active HIV cells will die (depending on how much blood is in the syringe) will take from one to four weeks. It is best to always dispose of a used syringe immediately. For HIV (or an infectious agent) to remain active, it needs host cells to reproduce. In a laboratory for instance, a synthetic agent or actual blood cells are kept in a controlled environment so it may be studied. HIV active cells will die almost as soon as blood leaves the body when exposed to air till it dries.
How is aids caught?
AIDS is caught by the virus HIV entering your bloodstream. Say if you had an injection and the syringe had not been cleaned properly, you can have HIV enter your body. This is only if the blood on the syringe was infected in the first place. It is almost impossible to tell weather someone has HIV so you have to be very careful in foreign countries if you have been treated for something.
Does using of the same syringe for two persons having the same blood group cause aids?
No; that will not cause AIDS or HIV.
Does Jean Claude Van Damme have aids?
No, he has not AIDS nor HIV. The movie star had a cocaine addiction in 1995 through '96, '97, and '98. Cocaine can be dissolved in liquid and abused intravenously. We may presume that the HIV could have been passed through the use of an unclean or unsterile pre-used or shared syringe. Perhaps, Mr. Van Damme could have blunderingly acquired the HIV through sex with an infected individual. Whatever the case, positive of HIV or not, he lives a healthier life now. He's the good guy.
How do you prevent HIV infections?
1 By having safe sex limiting to married partner only 2 gaining knowledge about HIV 3never use the syringe second time throw it away by using once.
Do two different kind a blood could make hiv?
No they could not make HIV.
Can HIV be transmitted by sharing an injection drug needle with a person who has HIV- infected?
Not if you're the only one who've ever used them.
Can HIV be transmitted through the a cut into a drink?
No. HIV can not survive in an oxygen rich environment. Unless you're eating out of a syringe, contraction from food isn't an issue. -CSM http://www.hivaidssearch.com/facts/hiv_aids_sneeze_cough_risk.htm
