Whats the risk factor for contracting HIV from a vampire?
HIV is very common among vampires, although their immunity from most human diseases prevents the virus from causing fatalities within the vampire population. Despite the prevalence of HIV-infected vampires, the risk of the virus transferring from the vampire to the bite victim is usually low, as vampire blood generally doesn’t enter the bloodstream of the victim in this process. However, if the vampire has sores in his or her mouth, such as from accidental fang penetration of the gum lining or from herpes, the virus may be able to spread to the victim. In general, it is recommended to avoid being bitten by a vampire if possible. It should be noted that the virus may also spread through sexual intercourse with a vampire. Use of a condom may reduce the chances of infection.
