Dear Friends,
Kindly take a couple of minutes to go thru this mail. If useful may
advise others also. Please pass this on to others This happened in
Colombo recently and may happen elsewhere also.
Few weeks ago, in Savoy film hall,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 Colombo ) 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 Contrast Cinema in Dalugama.
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
"Shocking 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
seconds of your time to pass along.
