Is this really true?
My head went spinning after reading it.
A 10-year-old boy had eaten pineapple about 15 days back 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 underwent a checkup, and none of them suffered from AIDS. So the doctors checked again with the boy if he had eaten out. The boy said 'yes'. He had pineapple that evening. Immediately, a group from Mallya Hospital went to the pineapple vendor to check. They found the pineapple seller had a cut on his finger while cutting the pineapple, and his blood had spread into the fruit. 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 now.
Please take care while you eat on the roadside (particularly tasty vada pav & paani puri) and please forward this email to your dear ones.

Ya, it's always good to be cautious while eating outside foods.
Basically, I am not a doctor to tell you exactly about these kinds of things, but as per my knowledge, the virus of AIDS will die in a few microseconds once it is exposed to the outer atmosphere.
So, being a management graduate, I can tell you I don't have complete information in this regard. At the same time, I want to tell you not to be overly cautious and frightened unnecessarily.
But we always need to be very careful when it comes to food.

This is something new I've heard. I know the virus spreads through sexual contact, sharing contaminated intravenous needles, and blood transfusion. It also spreads through breastfeeding if the mother has it, so will the child get it.
But this is something new I've heard. When you eat food from outside, you have to be careful as you might get Hepatitis A with contaminated food. I'm no expert at this, but this is something I really don't believe. Maybe the boy caught it from somewhere else.
For me and for most of us, I think it is wise to always read up on these diseases and understand the causes of it. It's better as we shouldn't create panic.

Please don't believe this nonsense. AIDS cannot spread like this. AIDS could have afflicted the boy only under the following conditions:
1) He had a sore/cut in his mouth/hands.
2) There was no time gap between the fruit vendor handling the fruit and consumption.
If either clause did not occur, then AIDS could not have been transferred.

Friends,
We all know that AIDS spreads through things like blood transfusions, unsafe sex, etc., but we should also believe that the research is not yet complete. There may be means by which it spreads that are still unknown to us.
I conclude by saying that we should be careful enough. Why should we eat roadside food at all? Let's avoid it and be safe.
Thank you.
