As Teak stated, it's just NOT consistent with the very extensive body of literature that we in the HIV field have studied and find to be very scientifically sound. There are many reasons for HIV NOT being transmittable via a "Sewing Needle". You must understand that people often tell half-truths in their HIV reporting. Additionally, it is possible, the husband attempted to infect his wife with a "Sewing Needle",however it is guaranteed she was NOT actually infected that way. If he injected her with freshly drawn blood from a syringe, this would be a much more realistic scenario. I'm not going to debate any further I this, I elaborate only for educational purposes.

Big deal, I've heard those lies before. How about people with HIV being charged for attempted murder for spitting? That story doesn't tell the facts and before you say more she did not contract HIV from a "sewing needle stick."

If you read this article it definitely says it was done with a sewing needle.

The "needle" in question appears to be a hypodermic needle used for intravenous blood draws or injections. The article mentions a syringe which is airtight. As you may know, HIV is commonly spread by IV drug users sharing needles such as this. The mention of a "sewing" needle is misleading. It would be beyond highly unlikely for a person to be infected in the manner in which you have interpreted from this article. HIV just does not transmit efficiently when exposed to air.
