It's fake. Not everything in FB is accurate.
The virus only survives in bloodstream.

The contaminated syringe in cinema story has been around since 90's.
It's an urban legend. It's only true if the needle was just used in less than 1 min and immediately inject into you.

Left cold in the open, the virus will just die by air exposure  biggrin.gif

Moreover, studies have shown that HIV can survive in syringes for up to six weeks,1,2 while hepatitis C can remain detectable for two months.3 Virus is more likely to survive when there are lower temperatures, greater volumes of blood and within larger syringes.
