just question

If the HIV virus becomes inactive within seconds outside the body or host, how can it be transmitted from one person to another when sharing needles?

I have tested at 9 week and my result comes out as following :

HIV 1 Ag+ HIV 1+2 Abs ( ECLLA)  0.29 ( negative) IU/ML      < 2.0 Non reactive.

I have tested again at 12 week=86 days and my result comes out as following :

HIV 1 Ag+ HIV 1+2 Abs ( ECLLA)  0.35 ( negative) IU/ML      < 2.0 Non reactive.

I don’t know which generation is this test

I see that the number is increasing. Dose this pose any concert to retest ?

Can you predict which generation is this?

The blood inside the syringe has not been exposed to air & is still active.

Because when you inject a needle in your arm there is blood on the tip of the needle and some of your blood in in the syringe as well.  So after a person injects drugs into their body and then pass it to someome else, like I said there is blood that is still in that syringe.

when injecting drugs, the user pulls back to make sure that they are in a vein, drawing blood up and trapping it into the syringe.  it is then injected into the next person.
