there hasn't been a known virus yet to undergo such a drastic mutation that it changes its mode of infection. HIV is one of the most mutagenic viruses out there (one of the reasons why it is so hard to vaccinate or cure) and it hasn't become airborne.

Vaccinate, yes.

Treat long term, yes.


Cure.....


The biggest problem with curing HIV is that before you become symptomatic, it writes itself in the DNA of cells in bone marrow. Even if you kill every virus in your body, you will still produce virus shortly due to the viral DNA in your own cells.


It's why the cure cases always involves a bone marrow transplant.

This doesn't change your point, just FYI.
