Well, here's something that will absolutely make you question the sort of world we live in.
A suspect is being sought by Philadelphia police for pointing a blood-filled syringe at a woman before robbing her in the city's Kensington section early Saturday morning, TheBlaze reported.
After getting off work around 1:30 a.m., a 32-year-old female was ordering food at Eddie's Chinese Restaurant on the 100 block of East Allegheny Avenue in Philadelphia when she was approached by the suspect, according to police authorities.
Pulling out a blood-filled syringe, the suspect pointed the threatening object right at her and said in Spanish, "I have AIDS, give me your money," police told WTXF-TV.
Immediately, the victim pulled out $200 and threw it at the male suspect before taking off in an unknown direction, police said, adding that nobody had been injured.
Police describe the suspect as a Hispanic male, 30-35 years old, 5 feet 10 inches tall, with a dark complexion. He was last seen wearing a blue hoodie and Adidas track pants, WTXF reported.
If you have any information, please contact the Philadelphia Police Department's 24th District at (215) 686-3240.
In a similar incident, a British couple were forced to withdraw money from an ATM after a robber hijacked their car and threatened to inject them with an HIV-infected blood-filled syringe.
The man and his wife managed to escape the robber - who was armed with a knife - but he made off in their Mercedes four-wheel drive vehicle which was later found burned out, according to UK MailOnline.
Police found the couple "in a state of fright having been subjected to abduction and robbery," said the force spokesman.
In another recent instance, an HIV-positive woman attempted to attack and infect a Wal-Mart employee while trying to steal food from one of the discount chain's Texas stores.
