HIV in the water?

THAT’S TRASH. Following the dumping of hazardous medical waste off Lapu-Lapu City, there are now rumors that swimming in its waters can give you HIV because some of the needles found in the water were allegedly used on patients with the virus.

This is ridiculous, of course, but has not stopped people from continuing to spread rumors.

“Ayaw mog langoy sa Lapu-Lapu kay magka-HIV mo,” The EAR heard a neighbor say.
