Is this true or not?

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 HIV Positive. The Center also reported 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 appened 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". 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.

Thats because there is still blood left on the needle. HIV virus needs a medium to survive on. They cannot be active without a medium. When Drug addicts share needles with each other, they sort of go through some form of blood transfusion with each other. So the tainted blood enters the body through the vector(needle) and into the blood stream.Originally posted by aRcTiC_sTaR:Hmn but drug addicts who share syringes do pass HIV to the others, don't they? -
I suppose the needles also contain blood infected with HIV. But anyway it's just a hoax right?

Seems like this is rather feasible if a HIV infected person enters the theatre early and sets up the trap.

no need HIV, juz put any normal needle and poke. the person will be scared to shit right there.Originally posted by aRcTiC_sTaR:Seems like this is rather feasible if a HIV infected person enters the theatre early and sets up the trap.
