I was under the impression it was AIDS. Wasn’t the time set in the 80s when she got sick? Also, i thought she referred to having some new illness that little was known about.

I have a question about the movie Forrest Gump?

Q: You know how Jenny and Forrest slept together, and Jenny got pregnant with Little Forest? Well since they weren’t using protection if she got pregant, and then Jenny said she had a virus and was very sick and the doctor’s couldn’t do anything and she had a history of drug use, it was probably AIDS (that’s what I’ve always assumed it was anyways and that’s what people say) then didn’t Forrest get AIDS after sleeping with Jenny without protection?

A: She led a very promiscuous lifestyle before they got together. The movie isn’t very fresh on my mind but I believe this was during a long period when they were apart. Also, we can’t rule out the “Well, it is just a movie…” explanation…

A: Pretty sure her death alluded to AIDS. All that needle sharing she did.It is possible for people to have sexual intercourse with a person infected with HIV/AIDS and not contract the virus. It’s also possible for a child to be born free of the virus.This doesn’t mean go out and have unprotected sex with people with HIV.
