I think it were various blood-based products that were contaminated, pills and injections among them. As for HIV surviving inside of a pill, I'm not knowledgeable enough to say if its possible or not. Probably depends on the exact contents of the pill.

The contents of a hemophilia injection are probably similar enough to blood for HIV to continue living on.

It said "pills". HIV cannot live in pill form. Something is wrong with this article, I wouldn't trust it.

HIV is a very fragile virus, it cannot live in pill form.
