HIV-Infected Needles Hidden in Soft Drink Machines–Fiction!
Summary of eRumor: This email is from Canada. It alleges that there are soft drink machines in which are hidden HIV infected needles and when someone sticks a finger into the return-coin slot, the finger is pricked and the HIV virus is transmitted.
The Truth:
This is not true. It is a variation on an urban legend about hidden HIV infected needles in theaters, pay phones, and the play areas of fast food restaurants. There is no documented case of this happening.
