A 10 year old boy who had eaten pineapple about 15 daysback, fell sick, from the day he had eaten. Later when he had his Health check done,doctors diagnosed that he had AIDS. His parents couldn't believe it...Then the entire family under went a checkup None of them was found to be suffering from Aids. So the doctors checked again with the boy if he had eaten out....
The answer was 'yes' - he had had pineapple two weeks ago . Immediately a group from the hospital went to the pineapple vendor to check. They found the pineapple seller had many cuts on his fingers while cutting the fruit; his blood might have spread onto the fruit each time... When they had his blood checked, sure enough ..the guy was
suffering from AIDS but he himself was NOT aware. Unfortunately the boy is suffering from it now.
Please take care while u eat on the road side ( particularly tasty vada pav & Paani Puri )

ReplyDeleteThis is another hoax mail in circulation in different forms since 2005. It is reported that the email contents are false.

Commentary:
This message warns that a child has been diagnosed with AIDS after consuming takeaway food contaminated with infected blood. There are at least three different versions of the message. One claims that the contaminated blood was in the sauce on a takeaway burger. Another claims that it was included in a serve of panipuri, a popular Indian food often sold in roadside stalls. Yet another claims that the blood had spread into pineapple.
Like many such emailed warnings, the details are both vague and unsubstantiated. The child or family is not named, nor are any confirmation sources included. Extensive research reveals no credible reports that back up the claims in the message in any way. The warnings are dismissed as untrue in a 2005 article published on GulfNews.com.
Furthermore, the message shows little understanding of important differences between HIV (Human Immunodeficiency Virus) and AIDS (Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome). The message claims that the boy was diagnosed with AIDS within 15 days of consuming the supposedly contaminated material. However, AIDS is an illness caused by HIV and is diagnosed only when the virus has seriously damaged the human immune system and the victim has developed one or moreopportunistic diseases associated with the virus. Not all people infected with HIV will develop AIDS. Moreover, most people with HIV live with the virus for years before developing AIDS. Thus, the claim that the child contracted AIDS directly from the AIDS suffering cook within a few days is entirely spurious. To reiterate, while HIV can be transferred from one person to another, AIDS is an advanced stage of an individual's experience with HIV.
