    Look at this e-mail I got
    Dear All,

    Be careful

    (Don't avoid read this mail)

    FROM

    Arvind Khamitkar , I.A.S,
    Director of Medical & Research Div, Paris.

    Dear Friends and Public,

    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 hppened 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 Khamitkar ,
    I.A.S, Director of Medical & Research Div, Paris.

    Rather than forwarding irrelevant mails, kindly pass this to every one. Probably your mail can help some save his/her life

    Kind of scary.

    Johnson Aziga - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

    "Johnson Aziga (born 1956) is a Ugandan-born Canadian man resident in Hamilton, Ontario, Canada, notable as the first person to be charged with first-degree murder in Canada for spreading HIV, after two women whom he had infected without their knowledge died."

    HIV won't live long exposed on a needle like that. That email has been circulating for years and years. Delete it.
