Dear All,

Be careful

Dear Friends,

A few weeks ago, in a movie theatre, a person felt something poking
from her seat.When she got up to see what it was, she found a needle
sticking out of the seat with a note attached saying "You have just been
infected by HIV". The Disease
Control Center (in Paris ) reports many similar events in many other
cities recently. All tested needles were HIV Positive.

The Center also reports that needles have been found in cash
dispensers at public banking machines.We ask everyone to use extreme
caution when faced with this kind of situation. All public chairs/seats
should be inspected with vigilance and caution before use. A careful
visual inspection should be
enough. In addition, they ask that each of you pass this message along
to all members of your family and your friends of the potential danger.

Recently, one doctor has narrated a somewhat similar instance that
hppened to one of his patients at the Priya Cinema in Delhi . A young girl,
engaged and about to be married in a couple of months, was pricked
while the movie
was going on. The tag with the needle had the message welcome to the
World of HIV family". Though the doctors told her family that it takes
about 6 months before the virus grows strong enough to start damaging the
system and a healthy victim could survive about 5-6 years, the girl
died in 4 months, perhaps more because of the "Shock thought".

We all have to be careful at public places, rest God help! Just think
about saving a life by forwarding this message. Please, take a few
seconds of your time to pass along.

Hiii Meenakshi,

I am suspicious about the truthfulness of the above incident. I too got such a mail and the sender was someone different.

A few points that I would like to share with all of you....

HIV virus is found only in our body fluids like Lymph, blood, semen etc.

This virus cant' live in air, It dies within hundredth part of second when broughtto air contact. that's why incidents like the one you posted are nothing more than rumours....

Hey if any of you have some other useful information related to this, Please share.....

[WISDOM]

yes, natural is right. further, no one can die within 4 months coz' the window period is minimum of 1 year i.e. only 1 year after the transmission of HIv virus into u'r body, u can start facing problems or threat to u'r life. anyway, it is difficult to cmnt whether it is rumour or not but the moral of the story is look at u'r seat before u sit down; someone may have pasted bubble gum over there and u can remove that bubble gum and chew it before thworing it away; this will help u in saving 1 rupaiya!

Futher, natural is right, virus can't live in air!
