Social Network Members Reject Rumors on HIV-contaminated Eggs

Members of social networks all at once rejected the rumor that eggs were contaminated with HIV virus. Couple days ago the information on HIV virus contaminated eggs was unanimously released on social networks and internet forums. Attached with the information was a picture of peeled boiled eggs with strange signs which caused suspicion of HIV virus injected eggs.  However, many other members of the social networks rejected the rumor as HIV virus is transmitted through blood, semen, breast milk, and other body fluids. In a talk with reporters from the Sai Gon Giai Phong newspaper, deputy head of the Department of Animal Health Nguyen Van Trong said that recently groundless rumor badly affected farmers’ profits; accordingly he advised customers to keep one’s wits about false rumors.
