Oracle of DelphiHIV-tinted camera

Boy of Blue Industries is the front for the art of Wayne Martin Belger, and he's come up with a devilish instrument, one that'll allow you to make a powerful statement.
He's made a camera that pumps HIV-infected blood in front of a camera lens, allowing you to take photos that have literally been tinted with HIV.
From the site:
"Designed to study and photograph a geographic comparison of people suffering from HIV.
4”x5” camera made from Aluminium, Copper, Titanium, Acrylic and HIV positive blood. The blood pumps through the camera then in front of the pinhole and becomes my #25 red filter. Designed to shoot a geographic comparison of people suffering from HIV."

I found this camera on BoingBoing, where it was written:
"...these contraptions are more dangerous (on more than one level)"
You said it - this camera is actually a menace to use. Can't have any Sean Penn-fists flying at your camera. Can't take photos from the top of a building - what if you dropped it?
Well, actually, a regular, HIV-free camera would still be dangerous, dropped from a tall building. So, let's not panic.
I remember when Magic Johnson wanted to return to the NBA, after finding that he was diagnosed with HIV. I could sense that the opposing players were nervous about playing with him - at that time, scientists were unsure about the ability of HIV to be transmitted by sweat. And Magic was a sweaty dude, let me tell you.
A couple of pics of Magic doing the no-look pass, through this lens, though... that'd be a Magic photo...
