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.
With Regards, Arvind
