FROM Arvind Khamitkar   ,

Dear Friends,

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 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 athe 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, Arvind Khamitkar   ,
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 some save his/her life

A hoax mail is causing sensation among netizens these days. The mail is warning about people being prickled by HIV infected needles in public places. Though, the original mailer is still to be traced out.

The mailer naming himself Arvind Khamitkar, I.A.S, Director of Medical & Research Division, Chennai, tells an instance of a girl from delhi who was infected by HIV virus containing needle and died in 4 months. He claims that the needle had a tag, which read ‘‘Welcome to the family of HIV.’’

The Health Department officials have described the e-mail as a hoax.

‘‘There is no such IAS officer or Department in Tamil Nadu. There is no cause for an alarm’’ a senior Health official said.

Dr Usman, former director of Institute of Sexually Transmitted Diseases, Government General Hospital said, ‘‘For the virus to be transmitted, it has to freshly taken in the syringe and the anti-coagulants had to be mixed.

The virus stays fresh till the blood is moist and it has to injected immediately on a person. But in the hot climates the virus cannot survive outside for long.’’

‘‘I would call this a combination of spam and prank,’’ said Na Vijayashankar, director, Cyber Law College, Chennai. According to him, especially younger Internet users indulge in such crimes to prove their technical capabilities and to satisfy their ego.

The police can easily trace the Internet Protocol address from which the e-mail had originated, he said.

This messege first began doing the rounds in 2006. especially this year, it has spread all over the country.

It is in our hands to verify the content of any mail before clicking the forward button.

I don't know if anybody could ever die of AIDS in this manner, but i surely am convinced that wanton spread of such hoax emails could bring about a "Shock-Death" or two!

So, live life KING SIZE!!!
