Have you received this email this month about a needle in a cinema? IT IS A HOAX. Please do not forward hoaxes to others. Below is the posting from the real Centers for Disease Control in the US that says these reports have no foundation in fact. If you want to save lives, encourage your friends to have condom protected sex and use sterile injecting equipment.

Blood donation as civil disobedience
On the 12th of December Kyemon (Mirror) published an article: “Donating blood, saving life” by Padaung Than Kywe. In legal groups of four or five, people have started coming forward to donate blood. This is a brilliant nonviolent act of civil disobedience. What if the queue, in groups of five separated by a short space, stretched around the block? Wearing a “I donated blood today” badge has become a political act. Congratulations to the people who thought of this creative move.
