Well, the world may be getting sicker every minute, but THIS NOTICE IS A HOAX that has been circulating on the internet since 2000! Before that, the HOAX was that HIV needles were being left in theatre seats, or payphone coin returns. There is no Abraham Sands. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention have no reported cases of AIDS from needle-stick injury to anyone outside the health care field. Please go to www.snopes.com and search (on this one search for "HIV needles") every time you get one of these "too horrible (or too good) to believe" warnings. The really sickos are the people who start these things and laugh every time they see another 200,000 of them hit the web when folks mail them to their entire address books. This is naught but another darn fool hoax dreamed up by someone intent upon enjoying the sight of the Internet community thrown into another panic. Don't contribute to it by passing along this humbug.
