I dont like posting "foward these on messages" but this seems to be
becomming a problem.

From: Red Cross Blood Service

A few weeks ago in a movie theatre in Melbourne a person sat on something
that was poking out of 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 a
quote; You have just been infected by HIV;. The Disease control Centre in
Melbourne reports many similar incidents have occurred in many other
Australian cities recently. All tested needles are HIV Positive.

The Centre also reports that needles have been found in the cash dispensers
in ATMs. 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. 17 people have been tested positive in the Western
suburbs alone in the last 2 months!!! 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. We all have to be
careful at public places! This is very important. Just think about saving a
life of someone even you don't know by forwarding this message. Please, take
a few seconds of your time to pass it along.
