My wife and I were watching Being Human on BBC America the other night when a question suddenly struck me.
If you've never seen the show, it is a comedy-drama about a vampire, a werewolf and a ghost all sharing a house.
My wife is a fan of vampire movies but even she was stumped by my question.
Can vampires get aids?
In the show, the vampire and the werewolf work in a hospital. The ghost stays home because she's dead.
Obviously a hospital is a convenient place to find blood but what would happen if the vampire picked a victim who had aids? Would the contaminated blood be passed on? Would the vampire suffer any adverse effects or would they be unaffected?
You hadn't thought of that had you?

My guess is that they will not get AIDS, mostly because in Interview with the Vampire, Lestat said to Louis that he will never grow old and will never get sick...just a thought though.
