evidence: Internet meme inaccurately claims that fruit is injected with HIV-contaminated blood [...] Inaccurate: Red discoloration in fruits are the result of plant diseases, not due to injected blood. It is also extremely unlikely for HIV to be transmitted via food except in highly unusual cases. This post, which has been circulating recently on Instagram and Facebook, contains an image showing a banana with red discoloration, and the caption claiming that, "If you see that your fruit contains [a] red weird colour in it, don’t eat it because a [group] of people is injecting fruits with blood containing HIV and AIDS".
