Please read and forward to anyone you know who drives.

My name is Captain Abraham Sands of the Jacksonville, Florida Police
Department. I have been asked by state and local authorities to write this email in order to get the word out to car drivers of a very dangerous prank that is occurring in numerous states.

Some person or persons have been affixing hypodermic needles to the underside of gas pump handles. These needles appear to be infected with HIV positive blood. In the Jacksonville area alone there have been 17
cases of people being stuck by these needles over the past five months.
We have verified reports of at least 12 others in various states around
the country. It is believed that these may be copycat incidents due to
someone reading about the crimes or seeing them reported on the television. At
this point no one has been arrested and catching the perpetrator(s) has become
our top priority. Shockingly, of the 17 people who where stuck, eight have
tested HIV positive and because of the nature of the disease, the others could test positive in a couple years. Evidently the consumers go to fill their car with gas, and when picking up the pump handle get stuck with the infected needle. IT IS
IMPERATIVE TO CAREFULLY CHECK THE HANDLE of the gas pump each time you use one. LOOK AT EVERY SURFACE YOUR HAND MAY TOUCH, INCLUDING UNDER THE HANDLE. If you do find a needle affixed to one, immediately contact your local police department so they can collect the evidence.\
Dont know if its true, but why take the chance...
Just looking after my fellow bros...
Tony

Well I have read the same thing...but someone told me it exactly how you did, so it might be an internet paranoia scam. I mean it wasnt very professionally writtne. It could take a couple of years to show positive? It takes six months to test positive. This just doesnt sound very realistic

I don't think this is true. I think it is in the same mold as the story of the medical students in New Orleans who would drug people and take out their kidneys to sell on the black market.

It is highly unlikely to contract AIDS from being stuck by a needle if nothing is injected. The reason is because the AIDS virus dies as soon as it comes in contact with oxygen.

hey that is fucked up, but i am like some of the other guy's, hell it takes as long as 10 yr's to test postive sometimes and you have less than 1% chance of getting hiv from a needle stick anyway, so be careful about that shit man sounds like 5-0 is up to something to me, be careful

Hey People

This sort of shit happening in a club in London not so long ago. It was an Asian club and u had these dicks who went around "stabbing" people with micro needles which contained the HIV virus. The needles were so small that the prick couldnt be felt (excuse the pun).

Its a fucked up world we live in man

Kbc74 is right.
I live in the U.K and in my town there is alot of heroin addicts.
They are not a threat on there own, week and defenceless. but as a group they work!
They rob old people in the park, they carry works around with there hiv blood in it, and one even injected his probation officer who did become infected and is now in one of those places for nutters! ( he lost the plot!)
So it does go on.

Once again I have to call BULL SHIT HIV does not live more than a few minutes outside the blood system. Someone would have to stick em selves and then attach the needle and some one else would have to grab it as soon as they let go. L8R

whether it is true or not, some sick limp dick mother fucker is reading this shit and probably getting some kind of demented idea from it. all you need is 1 asshole with no life to start shitlike that and ruin some poor bastards life. when some one gets caught doing this shit they should never make it to the court room, just leave their pathetic ass in a room with the victims family, then justice will be served!!! just my two cents, hope i didn't offend anyone.

I heard something like this a while back. They said that people were putting infected needles in the seats at movie theatres and people would get stuck when they sat down. Makes you think, but still B.S.

Gotta disagree with the fact that the AIDS virus dies after coming in contact oxygen. I would not have has to clean up so god damn much in stick lab if that were the case. I still think that there are some pretty fucked up people out there who have ruined their lives so they want to destroy someone else's.

Aids does not die with oxygen, stays alive for a number of weeks even. I heard about this in the newspaper, this shit is for real. They've even reported needles with HIV in the McDonald's playground. This is serious shit.

I chalk all these up to bullshit, just like the LSD and Heroin mix on the phone handsets. Its the same shit as the Spanish fly myths that we grew up with and everybody has an AIDS story that happened to a friends friend of a relative. Fuckem all but check the handle is what I'm gonna do
