Apr. 29, 2005 07:40 AM "PHILADELPHIA - A third-grader stuck 19 schoolmates with her mother's diabetes blood-testing needle this week, and one pricked students tested positive for HIV on a preliminary test, officials said. Health officials said the virus could not have been contracted from the needle stick, and they noted that preliminary tests can yield false positives. The risk to students who were stuck after the possibly infected child depends on factors including the depth of the stick, health officials said. The 8-year-old stuck her Taylor Elementary schoolmates Wednesday at the school's breakfast, at lunch and in the classroom, using a needle that was about one-third of an inch long, on the end of a device that looks like a pen, school officials said. They were unsure why the girl did it. She was suspended and will probably be moved to another school, said Paul Vallas, the school district's chief executive. Most of the students involved were taken to a hospital for testing and treatment, school officials said. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the risk of HIV infection after a needle stick is low, with an average of one in 300 cases leading to infection." azcentral.com what a dumb kid...
little people know more than you think. information is so easy to get now. they should be affected by this too
lluckily they said that the chances of them getting infected withHIV is still low because of the depth of the needle. so there is a chance most of them will be HIV free
well lets just say a student lets call him fer... erm ferry so ferry eats alot of soft tacos and not just any soft tacos, bean filled soft tacos. this could lead to the mass excurtion of smelly farts in rooms all over ferrys school causing mass evacuations and lost time and money. think about that!!!
