Does antone think AIDS could mutate into some sort of zombie virus? Because you can like, spread it by biting people.

Disscuss.

Firstly, AIDS is the disease, not the virus. The virus is HIV. Secondly, HIV attacks the bodies immune system, not the brain. If any virus mutated in the way you suggest, it would be rabies, which attacks the brain and eventually causes death.

AIDS is the set of illness that follow HIV because you has none immune system. Hur, get it right.

Alright time to let this fall into the pits. I've seen flaws in my own idea.

Too much films.

I guess it depends on what your standards for a "zombie virus" are. Is a virus spreading through spit that destroys the brain a zombie virus? Does the virus have to make you crave human flesh? With no clear definition of a zombie it is hard to have a clear definition of a zombie virus.

I don't even believe in zombies. And if I would, I'd think zombies are people with ****ed up DNA, and HIV or AIDS doesnt affect DNA.

Noone here believes in zombies. This is a hypothetical discussion. And HIV DOES effect DNA. It effects the epigenetic tags.

@Alive: I think we are all talking about flesh eating, brain essential, shambling, mindless living dead when we talk about zombies. Not the brain-eating variety.

Well I doubt rabies would end up mutating into a zombie causing virus. But if so, I suspect it would kill the host soon after, and wouldn't make them that more stupid.

This topic was making me facepalm until Ash came in.

I take the subject of zombies extremely seriously. I am very passionate about them.

AIDS can't spread by biting people. You need blood to blood contact (not blood to saliva). So, case closed.

Actually, there's a tiny bit of blood in saliva, but at the current potency of AIDS, you'd have to have multiple gallons of saliva injected into you to contract AIDS, so right now, it's impossible. But say at a later date the AIDS evolves and gets even more potent to the point that the most minimal amount of a person's blood with AIDS could infect you.

Firstly, everyone here knows that I own copies of both those books. In fact, I got WWZ the day it came out: I was at Barnes and Noble when they opened.

Second, WHY THE **** DID THIS DESERVE A BUMP?
