What virus does Jenny die from in Forrest Gump

My first guess was AIDS, but Forrest Jr. would also have it because she would have contracted it during her druggie years.
Also, I just noticed for the first time that during the scene with John Lennon on the talk show the dialogue is the words to Imagine.

HIV/AIDs would be my guess.
They never actually say.

a baby has a 25% of contracting the HIV through birth (this is without treatment of course). HIV can also be passed through breast feeding (but i don't know the percentages). So, more than likely jenny had aids and didn't pass it to her son. i don't remember them saying jenny died of cancer, but aids can cause cancer, so...there you go. i always thought she had the hiv

I have always thought it was AIDS. Forrest easily could have gotten her pregnant without contracting it. Hell, they didn't even think you could get it from a woman back then, if I'm not mistaken.

As I recall,in the original novel by Winston Groom, Jenny didn't get AIDS and didn't die. They probably had her die in the movie to create a more dramtic ending.
