IMPORTANT MSG RE PUBLIC PLACES

THE FOLLOWING MSG CAME VIA EMAIL FROM INDIA ON JAN 21 06:-

Hi Friends,
(Don't avoid Pls read this mail)
FROM S. Dinesh Gopinath, I.A.S, Director of Medical & Research Div, Chennai

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 Paris recently and may happen elsewhere also.

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 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 hppened
to one of his patients at the Pri! ya 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, S. Dinesh Gopinath,
I.A.S, Director of Medical & Research Div, Chennai.

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


Thanks & Regards,
