Will acupuncture spread AIDS in the end?

According to "Zhejiang Net Letter", experts in disease control were quoted as saying:

AIDS is transmitted through blood, sex and mother to child. HIV can survive in infected people for a long time, but its viability in vitro is not strong, and the change of temperature and humidity will affect the activity of the virus. Even if the needle with blood contains HIV, the HIV content in the needle is very small, the blood in the needle will coagulate in a very short time, and HIV will lose its activity in a few minutes in a dry environment.

Hangzhou network police science said:

According to medical statistics, even if the syringe used by AIDS patients is immediately pierced into the body of healthy people, the probability of infection is only 0.33%. In other words, the possibility of "spreading AIDS through needles" is almost non-existent. Don't believe such news!

After 1 month, 3 months and 6 months of HIV antibody follow-up, no infection was found.
