Sterilization is a critically important part of the injection process, as unsanitary injection practices pose the greatest risk in terms of acquiring serious infections & abscesses. As described above, these are health problems you want to avoid at all costs and investing a little extra time and consideration into this aspect of your program can go a long way towards ensuring you remain problem free.

There are 3 key components you have control over and which need to remain sterile at all times. They are the needle(s) being used, the injection site(s), and the rubber stopper(s) of each vial you will be drawing from. It is your job to make sure these components do not come in contact with anything other than the intended object. When it comes to ensuring sterility, alcohol is your weapon of choice. Alcohol kills more germs & bacteria safely, than any other household product. Sterilizing an injection site or object is a simple process. Prior to sterilization, clean the area of any debris so that it appears visually clean. Afterwards, grab a alcohol pad or wet a cotton swab with alcohol and wipe the intended area. After the area/object has been sterilized, it should not come in contact with any other unsterilized object.

Note: The World Health Organization (WHO) states in their latest advice that swabbing with alcohol beforehand, like aspiration, is an unnecessary and outdated practice so long as the surface is visibly clean.
According to the medical establishment, an injection site should be covered with an appropriate bandage post-injection. While this will help further ensure that bacteria does not enter the injection site and cause infection, this practice is rarely employed among AAS users, typically with little to no negative consequences.

WHO: Alcohol swab skin prep is unnecessary

The procedure is superfluous so long as you're in a relatively clean environment—not in an infectious diseases wing or exposed high-risk patients in an ICU ward.

Multiple trials were conducted and there was no difference in the infection rate. Swabbing has gone the way of aspirating your pins.
