As always, i went out for some dimsum breakfast with the boyfriend. And he mentioned some pretty ear-catching story. Which i have never heard of. Being myself, my eyebrows rose when i heard that you can actually get AIDS in a cinema. Hold on and read up.  I don’t think such incidents happens in Malaysia,but as for the case of the European countries or perhaps the States, this isn’t ‘news’ anymore.

Generally,for someone as ‘blank’ and blur when it comes to this issues. AIDS is deadly and unlike cancer, it spreads.  i went to do some research on what the boyfriend mentioned, this is perhaps an urban legend. *clicketyclick* for the direct link of source.

“Welcome To The World Of AIDS.”

Be careful the next time you go to a cinema. These people could be anywhere!! An experience of a friend of my brother’s wife left me speechless. Please do send this out to everyone you know. This incident occurred in Bombay’s Metro cinema (Among the best in town). They were a group of 6-7 College girls & they went to the theater to see a movie. During the show one of the girls felt a slight pinprick but did not pay much attention to it.

After sometime that place began to itch. So she scratched herself and then saw a bit of blood on her hands. She assumed that she had caused it. At the end of the show, her friend noticed a sticker on her dress and read the caption. It read “Welcome to the world of AIDS.” She tried to pass it off as a practical joke but when she went for a blood test a couple of weeks later (just to be sure), she found herself HIV Positive.

When she complained to the cops, they mentioned that her story was one of the many such cases they had received. It seems the operator uses a syringe to transfer a bit of his/her infected blood to the person sitting ahead of him/her. A horrible experience for the victim as also the family & friends. The WORST bit is that the person who does it gains NOTHING where as the victim loses EVERYTHING. So, be careful!

AIDS Mary

Like her historical prototype Typhoid Mary, AIDS Mary’s claim to fame was spreading a deadly disease. First documented by folklorist Jan Harold Brunvand in his 1989 book, Curses! Broiled Again! (W.W. Norton), the birth of the AIDS Mary story coincided with the most virulent phase of the HIV epidemic in America. It took the form of a cautionary tale. After a night of casual sex with a woman he doesn’t know, the story went, a man wakes up the next morning to find the words “Welcome to the world of AIDS” scrawled in lipstick across his bathroom mirror.   Supposedly, the woman had contracted the fatal disease from a previous lover and swore to purposely pass it on to every man she could seduce.

In reality, there was no such person as “AIDS Mary.” Not with standing the documentation of several cases of HIV carriers knowingly putting multiple partners at risk for the disease by sleeping with them — including one involving an HIV-positive woman who claimed she had unprotected sex with at least two dozen men as an act of revenge — the character of AIDS Mary was a folk invention, an imaginative expression, if you will, of the fear and ignorance that surrounded the epidemic in the mid-1980s.

AIDS by ‘stealth injection’

New variants circulating since the late 1990s retain the original punchline — “Welcome to the world of AIDS” — but the plot of the story has taken a decidedly darker and creepier turn. It’s no longer the indulgence in careless sex with a stranger that seals the victims’ doom — it’s simply a matter of being in the wrong place at the wrong time. Innocent people are being randomly chosen for infection by anonymous villains, we are told. It’s AIDS by “stealth injection.”

i don’t mean to bring this up,because i haven’t really heard of such cases here in Malaysia. However, for my friends who’re overseas in Australia, USA, UK and even Canada. Please be extra careful,at least you’re aware of it now.  i dont know whats up with me lately,being so concerned about everything BUT me. these weird freaky things just somehow scares me.
