Kindly take a couple of minutes to go thru this mail. If useful
may advise others also. Please pass this on to others This happened
in Paris recently and may happen elsewhere also.
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 reported 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
appened 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". 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.
