Dear All
This has come to me tonight and I feel I should pass it one to you:-
Please can you all read the statement from Kent Ambulance Service. Once you have understood the implications it could pose you may want to pass this information on to your families and friends. Thank you for taking the time to read this.

Subject: Please pass on quickly to friends
This message is serious and has been pass on by Cheshire RFU
Could you please cascade this as quickly as possible as this came through our NHS web page. For your information, a couple of weeks ago, in the Odeon Cinema, Festival Park, a person sat on something sharp in one of the seats. When she stood up to see what it was, a needle was found poking through the seat with an attached note saying, "You have been infected with HIV"> The centre for Disease Control in Birmingham, reports similar events have taken place in several cities recently. ALL of the needles tested HAVE been found positive for HIV. The CDC also reports that needles have been found in coin return areas of pay phones and coke machines. Everyone is asked to use extreme caution when confronted with these type of situations. All public chairs should be thoroughly inspected prior to any use. A thorough visual inspection is considered the bare minimum. Further more, they ask that everyone notify their family members and friends of the potential dangers as well. The previous information was sent from Hanley Police Station to all the local councils in the Staffs area and was interdepartmentally dispersed. We were all asked to pass to as many people as possible.
