In the movie and the book, she has sex with him after her prophetic drug use phase....so does this mean she passed it to Gump when they sexed?

Is it odd that I'm just now putting that together?

Only lesser non fictitious men get the AIDS.

Only one in 2500 chance Forrest got it any specific time, based on guesses from epidemiologists on HIV transmission. I'd say he didn't nail her that many times.

His retard genes cancel out her aids so he was immune

is that true? a 1 in 2500 chance of contracting HIV from someone who currently has it? Doesn't sound right....

If he had heterosexual intercourse with her...it's extremely rare.

Among men who don’t sleep with men and don’t do intravenous drugs, the prevalence of HIV is about 0.1%

Research has consistently shown that even among street hookers, HIV is rare to non-existent so long as the hookers were not using intravenous drugs.


Jenny got it from drugs and Forest wasn't using.



A study of sub-Saharan African heterosexual couples where one partner had HIV found that typically only one in 900 acts of unprotected sex would transmit the virus.

No, as the boy didn't have it, so assuming later, or what the story wanted you to believe...

It is extremely difficult for a man to contract HIV from a woman via normal vaginal intercourse. There was a period, mostly in the 90's, where there was an extremely effective campaign of misconception designed to convince the populace that HIV/AIDS was a serious threat to heterosexuals. It never was at least in the West.

She didn't have AIDS, she was just real sick. Lucky for her she got to go home with Forrest at his house in Greenbo, Alabama. Her and little Forrest.

Gotta think about what would need to happen.

If Forrest, after years of Jenny frustrating and cock blocking him, made that pelvis pay? fricked her AND himself raw? Then yes, bloody vaginal secretions on a penis with multiple abrasions. You got AIDS.

Are we even sure Forrest didn't give it to Jenny? He was probably going through Vietnamese sluts like hot cakes during the war.

I don't think Jenny dies of aids in the book. Forrest was more of a drug user than Jenny was. It is possible he got aids partying with Kenny Stabler or while working as janitor of a strip club.
