Man Fell (Down) on Fell (Street)
Nick and I stumbled upon this Saturday morning outside on Fell Street. We thought it was a mere bricking, but no... Wow. Read the note. Wow. Wow. Wow!
Did he jump?
Did he slip?
Was he pushed?
And is he still alive?
So many questions...
And yes, of course, this is very sad. But wow.
CLARIFICATION: This was not my car.
UPDATE: I have been contact by the owners of the unfortunate Honda... Mystery solved!

Gotta love ignorance. The virus is destroyed when it comes into contact with oxygen.
HIV is very fragile outside the body, and even if it wasn't you wouldn't catch it from handling a piece of paper that had been near some blood.
Good to know... In general though, I do not want someone else's blood on me.
No one wants some homeless smack addicts dirty freaking blood on them, or their belongings. get real. He would be foolish NOT to wash his hands.
The note was obviously from someone he knew on a first name bases (landlord/friend). So, I guess if your friends are dirty freaking homeless smack addicts, then you probably don't care about washing your hands after touching the note they wrote. Aww.. who's foolish now? Smart guy.
um. Somebody fell on Fell St.
Listen to the holier-than-thou "oh you're so ignorant!" whineing douchebags!
Seriously, who is going to hit the books to find out just how at risk you are when some freak with HIV splats himself all over your car one happy morning?
F$*k off!? I'd just torch the f*#kn car and move on.
Just to clarify... Was not my car. Thank goodness. Not sure who this "Mark" guy is.
You should have at least scrubbed the license plate with Microsoft Paint...
Kudos to the guy who knows about HIV/AIDS transmission. You can't get it from shaking hands, sharing utensils, drinking after someone, using the same toilet, etc. ONLY through sexual contact, sharing needles, or, in the remote instance that blood splattered from a wound directly into your eyes. HIV is one of the more fragile viruses. It cannot survive past a few minutes outside of the body.
Wow....... I assume this is where it happened:

That note reads like it was left by a cop. He probably ran the plate, got the guy's name, and took a sheet from his notepad (or whatever), hence the reference to the case number and the jumper/faller/walking dead guy being referred to as the "subject". Maybe check your local blotter? Could be interesting.
A little too exciting.
I certainly wouldn't panic, but despite what other commenters are saying, I'd treat it as a low-level biohazard - wear gloves when you scrub, use bleach or another fairly beefy disinfectant.
AIDS is pretty weak outside the body, but being HIV-positive is also correlated with other blood-based diseases like hepatitis. Your chances of getting them are tiny, but take the regular precautions with low-level biohazards - wear gloves, consider wearing a face mask, use bleach, make sure the area's well-ventilated.
I want to reinforce that AIDS is NOT spread by casual contact... but you really don't have any idea of the details. Give it a good scrub, let it dry for a day, you'll be perfectly fine.
(My guess is you'd be fine if you took no precautions at all. But you really want to avoid the worst case - doing nothing and then worrying about it for months.... :-D)
That's crazy! I've thought about jumping myself sometimes. Life's hard with only one testicle.
To all those people who say, "oh, AIDS is really fragile, it's killed when exposed to air, blah blah, it's all really easy to say when you're not the one with the contaminated car.

Shit, you should try it with three. Makes ya wanna MISS the car...
"Listen to the holier-than-thou "oh you're so ignorant!" whineing douchebags!"
One of my favorite things in the world is when idiots make themselves look even more idiotic. I'm also really into his/her use of the question mark: "F$*k off!?" It's as if they aren't quite sure if they should be saying, "fuck off," only with conviction. Just awesome. Prognosis: 12 years old.
And to the guy ranting about how the person who jumped must have been a heroin addict homeless person, thus implying that anyone with AIDS is likely a degenerate: you sir, are one sheltered piece of shit. Prognosis: Fox News fan.
Aach, drive it to work, should be OK as long as the driver doesn't chow a piece of the fallee.
I'd be more concerned about my car personally.
This is your lucky day when you learn that HIV does not cause AIDS.

@Anonymous@2:23AM: You mean "diagnosis", not "prognosis". (Though you're probably right about the 12-year-old.)
"A mere bricking"? Jesus, what kind of neighborhood do you live in?
Just don't rub your weiner on the car hood or the note, ok?

I think you can buff that out.
dang, that is right down the street from my house!
Fell St? More like Felt St. My friend said he knew him and he was a big fan of caramel and nougat.
WTF does AIDS have to do with anything? God people are stupid.
Everyone knows that baby jesus gives AIDS to people who have impure thoughts about Shepard Smith from fox news. Also anyone that has AIDS gets an honorary membership in Al Queeda..
at least this person got a note... makes me wonder who left the note? Did they see it happen? Did they know the jumper? Hmmm, weird.
That looks like John Voigt's car! Wait! Did I see George Costanza running into the building to file a claim??
Jesus, all these holier-than-thou fuckers saying "You can't get it from this, you can't get it from that, etc" especially anon 6:52 up top, accusing the poor guy of being "ignorant" - fuck off! You're a total freakin hypocrite.
So sure of yourself? Why not put your money where your mouth is...ha, you know you never would:
e.g. You can't get aids from mosquitoes right? Bollocks! Let me put you in a room with a billion mosquitoes and someone with aids. bet that changes the adamance behind your theories.
Just stop preaching - no matter what you say, you can't argue that this isn't some fucked up shit - and the fact that the guy had aids makes it a billion times more fucked up.
Why all the Politically Correct bullshit - it's 2008 not 1993 - snap out of it.
dumbshits.
I wonder if it's considered a hit-and-run
fucking fags always spreading their fag germs.
oh, and coincidence of coincidences...
the captcha to post this is ingsGAY.
lmao.
fucking faggots.
Everyone has AIDS!
AIDS AIDS AIDS!
AIDS AIDS AIDS AIDS AIDS AIDS!
Everyone has AIDS!
And so this is the end of our story
And everyone is dead from AIDS
It took from me my best friend
My only true pal
My only bright star
He died of AIDS
Well I'm gonna march on Washington
Lead the fight and charge the brigades
There's a hero inside of all of us
I'll make them see everyone has AIDS
My father: AIDS!
My sister: AIDS!
My uncle and my cousin and her best friend: AIDS AIDS AIDS!
The gays and the straights and the whites and the spades
Everyone has AIDS!
My grandma and my dog 'ol blue AIDS AIDS AIDS
The pope has got it and so do you AIDS AIDS AIDS AIDS AIDS
C'mon everybody we got quilting to do AIDS AIDS AIDS AIDS AIDS
We gotta break down these baricades, everyone has
AIDS!
Just because somebody has AIDS and it dies quickly doesn't mean you should rub your body all over the blood. Theres a grillion other viruses that DO live outside the body for long periods of time, and people should be careful whenever they come into contact with blood. Ignorance? I think Safety.
