Guest guest Posted July 31, 2007 Report Share Posted July 31, 2007 CAUTION :Dear All,Be careful(Don't avoid Pls read this mail)Dear Friends,A few weeks ago, in a movie theater, 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 HI V 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 happened 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.Rather than forwarding irrelevant mails, kindly pass this to every one. Probably ur mail can help some save his /her lifeRegards......DR.S.P.GOSWAMYNational Consultant (Health Insurance)Ministry Of Health & F.W., Govt.

Guest guest Posted July 31, 2007 Report Share Posted July 31, 2007 Rajiv, Verify the authenticity of such mails before forwarding it. Many of us fwd such mails to our dear ones and create unnecessary panic. Lets not be a scaremongers and who is DR.S.P.GOSWAMY by the way ? There is not a remotest possibility of someone getting HIV infected in the manner mentioned below. HIV cant survive such environment. No offence intended to anyone but the creator of such mail but such chain mails brgs out too many non relevant issues.

Guest guest Posted July 31, 2007 Report Share Posted July 31, 2007 Dear Sir, I've a difference of opinion with this.As per my knowledge HI virus cannot stay alive in fresh air for more than few minutes. That is when the blood get dries it will also perish. And the syringes or needles as per the story would have been left much back before it has been found ( if the story is true) and the blood wud have got dried and the virus got killed. Secondly several mails have come regarding this but no news in this regard has come in any other media.( I haven't seen any ). Like this several other stories also have come telling that while eating bhelpuri some one got infected with HIV etc. But no authentic proof for that. It is good to be cautious against HIV and AIDS, but we should also avoid such kind of rumours which'll create panic among others. One more thing is that in India still people consider HIV patients as untouchables, and people really fear HIV and AIDS like anything. So people will believe these kind of hoaxes very fast and will get panicked even if a mosquito bites them while they are in a theatre. So please check the authenticity before sending these type of mails.
