HIV fears as girl of 8 attacks classmates
By A Correspondent
AN EIGHT-YEAR-OLD girl pricked 19 classmates with her mother’s diabetes blood-testing needle, and one of them tested positive for HIV in a preliminary test, health officials said.

The officials added that the virus could not have been contracted from the needle, adding that preliminary tests can yield false positives.

The risk to students who were pricked after the possibly infected child depended on factors including how deep the needle went, they said.

The girl used the needle at breakfast, at lunch and in the classroom at Taylor Elementary School in Philadelphia on Wednesday.

It was about a centimetre long and stuck on the end of what looked like a pen, according to school officials. They were unable to say why the pupil did it.

She was suspended, Paul Vallas, the school district’s chief executive, said.

The Centres for Disease Control and Prevention says that the risk of HIV infection after a needle prick is low, with an average of 1 in 300 cases leading to infection. (AP)

How is this that hard to believe?  Have yall ever seen a diabetes tester?  The little needle is just about, like they said, a centimeter long, and is used to prick your finger, so it'll draw a tiny drop of blood, that can be tested for it's sugar level.  The little girl probably saw her mom use it, and wanted to be mean, and took it to school to poke people with.  She wasn't trying to infect somebody, just thought it'd be fun to poke somebody with the point of that thing.
