( All are requested to comment, especially the doctors)


A 10 yrs old boy, had eaten panipuri about 15 days ago, and 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 suffering
from that. So the doctors check with the boy if he had eaten out? And
the boy says yes had panipuri that evening. Then the group of Malaya
hospital went there to check.

They found the panipuri seller had a cut on his finger while cutting
the onions, his blood had spread in food, when they had his blood
checked...the guy was suffering from AIDS but he himself was not aware.

Unfortunately the boy is suffering from it.

Please take care while u eat at road side food.
Kindly forward this message to your friends and make them aware

HIV doesn’t survive for long outside the human body, especially in hostile environment (like hot food),
So is it theoretically possible...?



+

HIV is spread by direct person-to-person transmission of bodily fluids (i.e., through sexual activity or blood transfusion). The virus cannot survive outside the human body and would die within moments of being exposed to the outside air or, in this case, the ingredients of panipuri. The other red flag that this one is not what it seems is that it argues the boy became immediately ill with what was instantly recognized as AIDS. HIV and AIDS can take months, even years to manifest symptoms and many of those infected with HIV can be completely unaware until AIDS-like symptoms begin to show.


So please don't spread such rumours.....

Hi Sukhbir,
There is no rumour in this, I got series of mails on this and thought of sharing this with you all, that's why i invited comments from Doctors.
