Hi VillagesPL: I certainly can't explain why HIV hasn't mutated into an airbone virus yet but then I do not understand virus. However, I do know that combinations and permutations apply to the process of mutation and that alone would leave me very guarded. The question posed and never addressed by the medical authorities centers around the issue of mutation. Most of us know that virus mutate.
I believe this mutation issue is being avoided because the medical community has their hands full now.
In my view a well run effort to eradicate this epidemic is not to rule out any possible scenario's and the manner in which to deal with it should it come to fruition.
