No and I didn't say it would die. HIV is not alive it is either active or inactive.

You were never enjected into a vein and HIV would have to be injected into a vein. Now move along.

Although HIV were not injected into a vein when had intramuscular injection
,it would arrive in a vein eventually,right? Can one be infected?
Suppose the needles were reused, when liquid containing medicine were drawn in, would the HIV become inactive due to the change of PH and temprature?

No that is not correct. HIV is fragile and cannot be mixed with anything.

Yes,you are right! Can you answer my question above changing the "die" to "inactive"?
That is "Although HIV were not injected into a vein in this situation,it would arrive in a vein eventually,right? Also,you have educated me that HIV would become inactive instantly due to the change of PH and temprature.When HIV was mixed with medicines,would it become inactive too?Why don't ensure me this way?"

Tell me why,please! You always say "NO",but leave me alone then. as we all know ,sharing HIV drug works (needles/syringes) may lead to infection,so what are the differences between the two scenario?
