It has been established that HIV infected blood begins to break down immediately upon hitting the air and nearly 99% of the infectious particles are broken down within a few hours. Even with this said, it's all a moot point since the concentration of HIV is quite low in dried blood outside of the body, which thereby virtually eliminates all infectious HIV particles which in turn makes the risk of HIV infection from blood or bodily fluids outside the body essentially zero. This fact along with the very common sensible approach that needles are SINGLE USE ONLY, and immediately upon completing a tattoo, should be placed in a puncture resistant sharp's container.
