HIV killer - killing some one who has done no harm
Pakistan
October 8, 2008 12:18am CST
Hello every one... Today i received a mail from one of my friends...I want share it with you..and know your opinion. A few weeks ago, in a movie theater, 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. With Regards, I hope ...this is not a rumor...but it is better to be careful ...let all know about this ..it is good ...I do hope we can help save a life I can't imagine.. anyone so sick..that he or she can do such a thing..KILLING SOME ONE..WHO HAS NOT DONE ANY HARM....what is your opinion..

What a satanic idea to infect HIV and kill innocent people without any reason! I think, an international squad must be formed to trap the real culprits of this satanic idea! Governments of almost all countries are spending billions in dollar value to control and eradicate HIV with an aim to make this living planet AIDS free! Such a matter is really a great surprising offence for the people of the whole world! Hope, the culprits of such insane activities will be trapped soon to face their consequences! Thanks for this alarming topic!

Thank for mentioning it as well. I haven't seen any person yet, either personally or through media, who got infected through injection. But nevertheless, we should all still be vigilant and extra careful on our surroundings. It could possibly happen anytime and almost anywhere. I wouldn't really hurt to check your immediate surroundings and be aware of the way people around you are acting. Take care and always be safe.

Yeah, it was really scary when I first heard that a couple of years back. One specific story was a couple was watching Titanic in the theater and the girl noticed that the guy is grimacing in pain. He was injected by someone and he was tested positive for aids about 2 or 3 weeks later. That seemed to be a rumor but still, it is very much possible that it could happen. God bless you my friend.

I hope it isn't true. But if it is, i just can't understand why these people do that? Why do they want to hurt innocent people? Why don't they just pray that some miracle will happen to them. Like they have a longer life and make good of that additional time they have to show their family and friends how much they love them. Or do some good deeds and not inflict others with the deadly disease. I think it would be so inhuman and unjust to do that, inflicting others, who haven't done anything wrong to them.I think we just have to hope and pray that it is just a rumor and that it is not true. For our family's sake and for the sake of the victims as well, that they may have strength to face the truth and accept it. That they have to keep hoping that someday, one day, there will be a cure for the deadly disease. Thanks and take care my friend.

I would like to think it as a rumor. But this can be a situation waiting ahead. But looking all around for a needle waiting to pinch you is feasible? I don't think it is.Let hope and pray to got, that let it not happen to anyone in this world.

There are some twisted minds out there! According to snopes.com this is a true story that was first reported in 1998. Thanks for posting it. I don't go to cinemas anymore. It's easier for me to just wait it out for DVD but hopefully people will be very cautious and observant. Have a good day!

I think a lot of times they just pass it on. Better to be safe than sorry. A few years ago I got an email about elderly women being carjacked by a paper being on their back window of the car and I was really worried because my mother was out late a lot at the time so that is when I discovered the snopes I was talking about. It's always good to pass it on I guess just in case but I like to check it out to give me som peace of mind.

OOOOPS I stand corrected....Go to snopes.com and find that this is a rumor not true. I didn't read quite far enough before. When you get these emails and things they are pretty easily checked out at his website. I'm glad it is false! Have a good day!

i had heard about this method of killing people about a few years ago and i don't think that this is something new... i feel that the person who is doing it is very cruel and had to be punished severely when caught... only mentally ill people who can do this... hurting innocent people who didn't do any harm at all to him/her... take care and have a nice day...

I remember when I was in high school, my teacher warned us about this. For some time after that I was really scared and would carefully check my seat when I'm at the cinema. Thanks for putting this up! We must be aware of such things, and it doesn't hurt to be extra careful. I think it's just evil for one person to do something like that. Whether or not it's his fault that he acquired the disease, he should not go out harming people that way. If he is angry about his predicament, then he should deal with it in a different way, and not to take it out on innocent people who has done nothing to him! If he did this to a person who caused him to get the disease, I would understand his vindictive nature, although it is still wrong. However, this thing he is doing is just evil.

I have heard about a news regarding this people injecting innocent people in public places. But this happen a long time ago. It is the same news the difference is the person does not only do it on theaters but also in crowded places and then inject a needle that contains an HIV. I dont know if this is true or not since this have been an old news and so far in our place nobody was reported infected with HIV or somebody injected a needle on them. But if this came back once again i guess we just have to be aware about it than regret it later.

I haven't actually heard of this happening to anyone. I have, however, heard of people rapping women or lying about their health to someone to purposely infect them with HIV. I do believe that one woman managed to get a man charged with attempted murder for intentionally infecting her. I'm not sure if he was convicted, though.

This is a very old and very FALSE urban legend. Nothing of the sort has ever been reported anywhere. That's the good news. The bad news is the that more often we spread these falacies, the more likely it will be that one day someone will strive to repeat them. Please, please, please don't repeat these emails until you find out the validity of the claim. One source is www.snopes.com . Thanks

I can not believe that people could be so cruel. Okay so sadly I do believe this, and I think to be honest that it is sick of people. I am not sure why anyone would want to do that, but I surely do wish that god would help them become better people and not so evil. On the other hand, who's to say that we should believe it, we do not know for certain if it is a hoax, all we can do is hope that it does not become a rumor and someone do it in each of our countries.

IT started at the height of the aids epidemic when fears were great and knowledge was lacking. These internet legends play on fears. They love to see their lies spread. My fear is always that some idiot will seek to emulate the legends and thereby hurt many people because of some false hood they have read. THis is why I will never repeat these emails until I find whether it's been shown possible.
