Some time ago a Melbourne, Australia, cinema, a person sat on something poking that was on one of the seats.  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 Centre in Melbourne reports many similar events in many other cities recently.  All tested needles ARE HIV positive. 

The Centre also reports that needles have been found in the cash dispensers at Public Banking Machines (ATMs).  Therefore, use extreme caution:  inspect all public chairs/seats with vigilance and caution before use.  A careful visual inspection should be enough.  Recently, a doctor narrated a similar instance.  At a cinema, a 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 and family.”  Though the doctors told her family it takes about six months before the virus grows strong enough to start damaging your system, the girl died in four months, perhaps at least partly from shock.
