In recent months, information about HIV-infected fruits, more specifically oranges and bananas, has periodically appeared in the public domain. However, the information is quite controversial.

Some publications even claim that more than 2 million bananas injected with HIV-positive blood have been found so far by the World Health Organization in South America alone. A large quantity of infected oranges imported from Libya was found in Algeria.

According to the people who spread this information, this is another disastrous strategy of the jihadists. Infected fruits came only from lands that were at war. In some countries, public authorities have even warned their citizens to check the fruit before eating.

However, the truth is different. It turns out that the photos showing the infected fruit are fake. The photos of most infected bananas are actually fruits attacked by a species of fungus that destroys millions of bananas each year.

In addition, the HIV virus does not survive long outside the body. The only way to get infected with it by eating any food is to chew it and spit it out of an HIV-positive person. Even then, the probability is negligible.

The virus does not survive high temperatures, exposure to air or stomach acids. There is no way to be infected by fruits touched by a sick person, even if there are traces of blood or other body fluids on them.

Furthermore, the act itself does not make sense, as the quantities needed to infect such an amount of fruit are really impressive and the jihadists have nowhere to get them.
