This may have already been posted idk, So I was talking to my good friend on the phone and he just informed me about some idiots going around putting infected HIV/AIDS needles on gas pumps and infecting innocent people.

Apparently 17 people has been poked, and 8 have been infected(not a big number but its enough), the others could be tested positive in a couple years...


this is so scary, so not only do you have to worry about people shooting u up at the pump, but you now have to worry about getting affected about a desease

Giving people a heads up!!!! Check the pumps before you touch them please!!!!


people are so sick...smh

Is there any proof about this? Credible new articles?

I know that there was an old email going around about hiv needles in movie seats, but there has never been a reported case of such. Maybe this is a spinoff?


SN: How would you put a needle on a gas pump, anyways?

i used to hear about this when phone booths were out...the needles being put in those slots were the coins fall into...and vending machines etc

That's just disgusting and so inhumane. Good question though @HoneyDips. Where exactly would they put the needle and how would it stay? Who the hell has time to do this? Ugh!

This doesnt make logical sense though. The HIV virus cant survive outside the body. You acquire through direct contact with the person who has it.

I still check every single handle before I start pumping gas.. I'm paranoid.

This is a new spin on an old tale. Remember the HIV/AIDS tacks on seats in movie theaters?

Old ass urban legend. People should check snopes before dredging these things up again

I see this oldie but goodie has recycled itself. To be safe you should pull up behind someone already pumping gas even if the rest of the gas station is empty.
