Be Careful While Seating 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
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. K.Ramachandran |
