When the teenager at the cinema chair cushion settled down he felt a soft spot, but he did not observe further. run
After the film was and the light illuminated the room, the couple rose from their seats. Amazed was the young man a piece of paper that lay in his chair and a syringe sticking out of the upholstery
was on the list: "Welcome to the club you've just been infected with AIDS ..."
Note & Declaration :.. Welcome to the club The stories are supposedly the best-known Urban Legends They come in an infinite number of versions time they play in the cinema, in a bus, a disco, or a fruit stand or even an ATM reinterpreted.
chain letters and emails spread these stories for years and have in discos in the U.S., Austria and even Germany led to uncertainty. Also during the Love Parade 2007 in Essen ( more info), it was happened to me, a rumor had made a "madman with AIDS syringe" the round.
is a fact, however: So far there have been no confirmed case in which someone - as in the above legend - by an HIV-infected syringe in a cinema seat, a disco, etc. were infected. It is therefore a typical urban legend.
Even if someone should actually come up with the idea intentionally infecting people in this way, an infection is unlikely. HI-viruses - whether in blood, semen, etc. - can not survive long outside the body . Even the knife attack at the opening of Berlin's main railway station, in which one HIV-infected persons was injured remained without consequences for the other victims.
In November 2007 I was by email (s) pointed to a "revised version" of a German chain letter - which is found now in at least three Internet forums. According to that is currently in a Cologne cinema, a person with an HIV-infected needle has been infected with the virus. Just as in the above story, the well-known note was found. What is new: It is said that Uwe Kerper, an employee of the Department of Civil Protection of the Rhine-Sieg-Kreis (RegBez. Cologne), have confirmed this story - and pointed to a number of several similar cases.
latter is definitely wrong. At the request of Mr. Kerper answers me that he has no warning or confirmed. "The warning message," said his response, "() is not new and pure panic." For further information, he points to the side of the Federal Agency for Security in Information Technology .
Even the state police office (LKA) has now issued a press release to published and said, "Such cases have not been (...) The subject press and public relations of the state criminal police SH of course, has such a" warning is not "published. The authors have spread to clearly intent fear and terror, and also want to generate a high data load. "
