Fw: HIV needles in Movie theatres

["Vella" <>]

IMPORTANT MESSAGE

 

To all

 

Though the following message does not relate to birds, I thought It would be important to make more people aware of the following sickning event that can potentially impact all of us. This message has been distributed throughout my work and other organisations, so I thought I should pass it on here. (I hope this is OK Russ.)
