A 26 old Trinidadian living in Dominica for the past nine years is categorically denying that she is infected with the deadly HIV as is being suggested by an e-mail being circulated recently. An investigation by The Times Newspaper reveals that the prankster on the internet suggests that a young man just found out that he was HIV Positive and listed a group of telephone numbers from all three telecoms providers indicating that all the persons associated with the telephone number are also infected with HIV.

On the popular morning talk show – “In the Hot Seat” with Matt, the young lady says that since her number was exposed in the internet prank, she has been bombarded with calls and text messages from persons and it has become very annoying.

The police are said to be investigating the internet prank.
