Just rumors or what
Has anyone ever heard the "rumors" about people putting needles in the seats at movie theatres or on the handles of gas pumps? Is this stuff true or are they just intended to make people like me scared, Ever since i heard this stuff from the cdc website i do not go to the movies anymore and everytime i get gas i get nervouse and have to check the pump a million times before i touch it.
Contact Dermatitis is a *real* risk from gas pumps, an HIV infected needle is not..
Someone put a needle in a letterbox, which I got in my little finger.
That was in a void block of apartments though.
Odd that happened a couple of hours after saying to my colleague I'd cover him while he went to the Doctor and to leave the key for the flat in one of the letterboxes.
Another guy at my work got stuck with one in a drain. He wasn't able to work again for months.
IDUs tend to try and dispose of them so 'the evidence is hidden' so to speak, down drains, over walls, into electricity substations and as I found out 'through' the letterboxes of boarded up apartments.
There's a place for them to exchange their needles but it's open only 9-5, yeah ID users hours those.
Not going to the movies for fear of someone placing an HIV infrected needle on a seat is obsessive.
