>>Dear Friends,
>>
>>Kindly take a couple of minutes to go through this mail. 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 Centre (in Paris) reports many similar events
>>in
>>many other cities recently. All tested needles were HIV Positive.
>>The Centre 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.
>>
>>With Regards,
>>S. Dinesh Gopinath
>>I.A.S
>>Director of Medical & Research Div,Chennai
>>
>>Rather than forwarding irrelevant mails, kindly pass this to every
>>one. Probably your mail can help some save his/her life.
>>
PS I have heard a case in which they put the needle inside a payphone, where the coin returns, so that when you put your fingers inside to get the coin, you'd get pricked. Be careful (from B. Sadighim)
