Does the aids virus die upon contact with the air?

1) just to be clear i don't have AIDS, I was just curious.
2) also, this was a serious question, so kudos and point to the ONE person with a serious answer.

It cannot survive long outside the body. Approximately 60 seconds air kills AIDS unless it is a wet, warm surface. (... the virus can live up to 15 days in a water-based solution of human blood cells at room temperature outside the body.)

The reason it can be passed via a needle is that once it is in the plunger there is no air.It remains inside the needle with no air therefore it is still a live virus.
