How long can the HIV virus live in a oil based steroid?

If a HIV + person injected blood into a bottle of steroids how long would the virus live and would using that same bottle later infect the next person. The steroid is Trembolan.

I don't know. Never thought or read about it.
But HIV can only live in the cells.
HIV can live 3 month in blood donor bag.
So i don't think HIV can live more than 5 hours in that preparation, because there's no cells for HIV to multiply.

I don't get. I just don't get. How can people actually ponder whether or not infections can be passed on to others by sharing injectables?
The reason why there is such a high risk for HIV/AIDS and other diseases between drug users is because of sharing. Only a complete dum.bass would share ANYTHING that has contact with bodily fluids with someone else.

Needle sharing is only a risk when you're using the same needle from person to person. There is no reason to fear a risk from sharing anything with another person, even steroids, unless the same needle is being used to inject.

Remember that HIV is a fragile virus and requires very specific conditions to thrive and reproduce.
