Lately, SMS hoax ni menular dengan meluasnya, menimbulkan ketakutan di kalangan umat Malaysia. SMS tersebut berbunyi,
"Utk beberapa hari akan datang, jangan mengambil minuman dari mana – mana produk dari syarikat Pepsi, Tropicana juice, Slice, 7UP, Coke dan lain – lain kerana ada pekerja dari syarikat itu telah menambah darahnya yang tercemar dengan HIV. Tengok Ntv7. Sebarkan kepada orang tersayang" atau dalam English
"for d next few days, do not drink any product from pepsi company like pepsi, tropicana juice, slice, 7up , coca cola, etc,,as a worker from the company has added his blood contaminated with HIV. watch Ntv7 ...please 4ward this 2 every 1 u care about.....ok. Please note seriously".Tak habis-habis la depa ni duk buat berita karut hoax. Yang duk main forward berita tanpa usul periksa pon satu hal. Ko duk sebut-sebut HIV, ko tahu ke pasal HIV? Read people, read! Iqra'!
INI SMS TIPU! Even kat India pon guna ayat sama (the english version), beza part ntv7 tuh je. HIV tidak boleh spread via food.

Question: Has HIV been transmitted from body fluids placed in restaurant food?
No incident of food being contaminated with HIV-infected blood or semen has been reported to CDC. Furthermore, CDC has received no reports of HIV infection resulting from eating food, including condiments.
Answer: HIV
does not live long outside the body. Even if small amounts of HIV-infected blood or semen was consumed, exposure to the air, heat from cooking, and stomach acid would destroy the virus. Therefore, there is no risk of contracting HIV from eating food.
Moral: Udah-udah la tu duk forward berita tak pasti... boleh terbabit sebar fitnah ni!
