Autoclave issue?

The autoclave at my shop is currently out of commision. I asked a doctor in my family if anything would have the same effect, and she said that at the hospital where she works they have before boiled their instruments in water to very high temperatures and then sterilized them with alchohol. That is what I did today and will as of now continue to do until the new autoclave comes in. Has anyone else heard that doing this is strong enough to kill the AIDS virus? Also, what's the incubation period for AIDS?

The virus that causes AIDS is HIV. HIV is a very weak virus once it's out of the human body. So, yes, this procedure will most likely kill all the HIV virus on the instruments. However, it is hardly worth the risk to use anything besides an autoclave. And not to mention, that other viruses, such as HBV (Hep B) and HCV (Hep c) are very hardy viruses that live outside the body for days. My dentist told me that HCV is the reason they use autoclaves. I wonder if the professional regulation department would say that boiling and cleaning with alcohol is acceptable?
