Original review summary

Fact Crescendo says the message claims ISIS operatives visit homes posing as NGO workers and inject people with HIV through blood-sampling equipment. The review reports that Sri Lanka Police confirmed there was no record of such an incident and no intelligence report of an operation. It describes the message as a hoax that resurfaced in Sri Lanka in 2026 after circulating there in 2022 and across countries since at least 2014.[S1]
