Wasn't HIV/AIDs not fully understood during the time the movie was set?
I am assuming when he meets Forrest Jr it is in the mid 80's. HIV was still pretty much a mystery at that point.
Yeah I always thought Aids. And I'm pretty sure it's possible for a mother to have it and not pass it on to their kid, but I also always thought Forest would have been subjected to it too.(remember the first time she came back and she slept everyday, I'm sure she was sick then just before she got pregnant with Little Forest)

Much harder for a male to get HIV/AIDs by vaginal sex.

Then definitely AIDS if it is possible not to pass it on the your child.
