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 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 to save his/her life

With regards
