In Uzbekistan, reports that "blood infected with AIDS is being injected into bananas with syringes" quickly spread on social networks. Doctors categorically denied these claims, dissuading the public from unfounded anxiety.
Experts say that the red liquid or mass from bananas is a sign of a fungal or bacterial disease common in tropical regions. Such bananas are not edible, but this has nothing to do with the virus.
The doctor emphasizes:
It is known that HIV is transmitted in only three ways: unprotected sexual contact, blood-related medical procedures, and mother-to-child transmission. Because the banana peel is punctured, it rots quickly, and the virus cannot survive in the external environment for long - this alone indicates that the rumors are false.
The note also states:
Previously, it was reported that videos claiming that people with AIDS are putting needles in their seats to harm others were also fake, and young people who spread them were identified.
