FROM Arvind Khamitkar , I.A.S, Director of Medical & Research Div, Chennai
Dear Friends,
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 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 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.
