Does bleach kill hiv
I relapsed yesterday and I used a needle that my friend said was clean. I'm worried that it may have been used. I cleaned it out with bleach. I was reading online and it said that you should rinse it out with water first then the bleach. I didn't rinse it out with water first. I soaked it in bleach for 10 minutes then I put it in boiling water for a few minutes. Could hiv have survived that?
I wouldn't worry to much about HIV. The drugs will be what ends your life if you don't seek help.
Yes diluted bleach inactivates HIV. If you don't rinse it out correctly, you end up damaging your veins.
No there is conflicting information on the Internet. Some day 30 servings with bleach is enough and some say bleach doesn't kill hiv. I rinsed it out with bleach and let it sit for 10 minutes. Then I put it in boiling water for a few minutes. Then I rinsed it out with water.
