The HIV Virus is very fragile, If exposed to air, it dies in about ten seconds, Hep is a different story, But it is not sterilising that kills it, Getting it out of the area is the best thing. That's why we "WASH" instraments befor the autoclave, and I do not know of any surgical cleaner that is geranteed to kill either virus.
