The Thai Embassy in Phnom Penh has rejected rumours circulating in Cambodia that some canned foods made in Thailand have become tainted with HIV, describing the reports as “absolutely false”.

 

The embassy released a statement on Saturday urging people not to continue spreading the rumours, which it said spread via text messages and on social media and had falsely claimed the Thai government confirmed the canned food to be contaminated.

HIV lasts no more than 40 minutes outside the body, so the use of 'absolutely false' is absolutely right.

I can just picture you typing this with your most absolute sincere face. Geeze has humor absolutely died here today?? 

Thai food could be contaminated with many many things, but HIV is very unlikely to be one of them........
