Honestly, I don't know that answer, and I don't feel like looking it up for you.

forever..

uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuhhhhhhh until sterilized. and what are you using this needle again for? if its a medicle facility of some sort may i know the address so i can make sure i NEVER GO THERE!

Just wipe it off on your shirt. It really doesn't take much to disinfect those things.

It is NEVER safe to use a used needle, HIV or not- there are other diseases transmitted by body fluids, as well. They are to be disposed of properly immediately after use in a sharps container. Period.

I don't think that really matters. It should never be used even if it isn't dangerous after a period of time..that is just gross.

STAY AWAY ,,,

WHAT YOU USING THE NEEDLE FOR ? IF ITS TO BANG UP DRUGS WORK AWAY YOU WILL PROB O/D BEFOR YOU CATCH HIV !!

WHO CARES BUT!STAY AWAY!!

You really don't need to do this . technically speaking it may remain as a bio-hazard for a long time. its because HIV is a virus and viruses don't die as it is sometimes known as non-living organisms(it consists of Genetic Material + some protein) . so (killing) it is done by denaturing its DNA or RNA and deactivating it. that's done by Autoclaves and other devices. and other chemical agents will deactivate it .soap and water will inactivate the virus.(you may wash it and all will be OK . but why taking the risk?)

To be clear . it doesn't survive in air for a long time to an infection.

I've listed numerous sources for you
