Post by: Big Rich on December 07, 2005, 14:32:16: I have receved a email with the below message. Thought I should share it with you all.

Friends,

This message is serious and has been passed to us from Cheshire RFU.

Could you please cascade as quickly as possible as this came through
our

NHS web page. For your information, a couple of weeks ago, in the
odeon

cinema, Festival Park, a person sat on something sharp in one of the

seats.

When she stood up to see what it was, a needle was found poking
through

the seat with an attached note saying, "you have been infected with

HIV". The Centres for Disease Control in Birmingham, reports similar

events have taken place in several other cities recently. ALL of the

needles tested HAVE been found positive for HIV. The CDC also reports

that needles have been found in the coin return areas of pay phones
and

coke machines. Everyone is asked to use extreme

Caution when confronted with these types of situations. All public

chairs should be thoroughly but safely inspected prior to any use. A

thorough visual inspection is considered the bare minimum. Further
more,

they ask that everyone notify their family members and friends of the

potential dangers, as well. The previous information was sent from

hanley police station to all of the local councils in the Staffs area

and was interdepartmentally dispersed. We were all asked to pass this

to as many people as possible."

:shock:

The usual sort of thing where it's just designed to clog up inboxes.

There is a CDC in the States so it would appear to have been transposed from an American version of it.

Have a look at Snopes (http://www.snopes.com/horrors/madmen/pinprick.asp)

The virus is unstable out of the human body. People who have had needle stick injuries from known infected patients still have not gone on to get HIV. Don't worry and get some steel underpants!
