Hi, This email has been written by a person who works at Ranbaxy. Please go through it to learn about the actual causes of HIV/AIDS. The purpose of sending this email to you is to raise awareness and counter any misinformation circulating online. Do not panic if you come across reports of needles in theaters or other alarming infection-related notes. Dear Friends, It is crucial to have accurate information about HIV. Recently, there was a misleading story circulating about a boy getting infected with HIV by consuming pani-puri. There have also been rumors about HIV transmission through needles in theaters, which is entirely false. Let's debunk these myths together. I have observed this email being shared in group emails, and I believe it is my responsibility to address any misconceptions regarding HIV/AIDS. As a Brand Manager (Product Manager) handling the anti HIV/AIDS portfolio at Ranbaxy, I am equipped to provide accurate information on this topic. Please carefully read the following points and refrain from spreading misinformation about medical conditions without proper knowledge: - HIV (virus) can only be transmitted through blood or semen. - Saliva does not transmit HIV, even if an infected person coughs or kisses another individual. The virus concentration in saliva is negligible, and exposure to air quickly kills the virus. - HIV transmission through injuries occurs only if both individuals have open wounds that come into contact with each other's blood (which is rare). - HIV cannot survive in any other liquid medium besides blood or semen. - Ingesting HIV-infected blood or semen does not lead to transmission as the virus cannot survive the stomach's acidic environment. - The virus dies within seconds of exposure to air, debunking myths about needle pricks in cinema theatres. - HIV transmission is an infection process and does not immediately result in AIDS. - The progression from HIV to AIDS takes around 8 to 10 years, not within a few days as suggested in the pani-puri story. - HIV weakens the immune system, making individuals susceptible to infections and diseases, ultimately leading to death from conditions like TB. - HIV is now considered a chronic manageable disease, similar to Diabetes or Hypertension. - To prevent HIV, practice safe sex, ensure safe blood transfusions, and avoid blood contact during accidents with high bleeding. Please spread this message to dispel rumors and educate others. I received this email from a dear friend, so I urge you to share it with everyone to show you care.
