syringe
The most common procedure for removing fluids is venipuncture or drawing blood from a vein. In this procedure, the syringe and a needle of the proper size are used with a vacutainer.
A syringe is a great technique for blood drawing! It allows the phlebotomist to control the vacuum, which is good because it is much less traumatic on a patient's vein. A syringe may also be used to obtain blood from a small, or otherwise difficult vein.
You insert it into a vein to draw blood.
A syringe (forces medicine into the body) and a heart (forces blood round the body), so both are pumps.

It is red. Blood is never blue but only appears to be because of the layers of skin and other tissues above it. If blood was blue and only turned red when it touched the air, then it would be blue in a syringe, that being a vacuum sealed environment where no air is present. Blood is not blue.
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.
I am a total believer in the use of butterfly syringes for blood draws. I am very needle-averse and have always dreaded blood draws. Since I learned of butterfly syringes, I can truthfully say, "It's a piece of cake."
