that and blood is a food sorce so they would already be some what immune to any diseases....also there is the fact that in some circles vampirers are connsiddered to not be truly alive.

I hope this doesn't have to do with the whole 'living undead'-thing, I never got that :( .
Vampires are immortal they can't get sick. Besides vamps are dead, what is HIV going to attack?

Me neither
I suppose if they didn't finish their meal, they might spread it. But I doubt they'd be effected themselves.

:eek: On a sidenote:
It seems chimps were affected by a disease similar to HIV somewhere in the past. However, they became immune to it.
Does this mean chimp = vampires?

vampires are incredibly susceptible to Hiv. thats why the last vampire succumbed to it in 1986. there are no more vampires.

Living Undead - Animated dead.
The dead, controlled by spirits, demons, and stuff.
That's how I interpret it to keep it from being a paradox or an oxymoron.
Edit: Zombies would be weakly animated dead, it doesn't take much to cut their ties to whatever is controlling them. Vampires are very strongly animated undead. They are controlled very efficiently, and must be killed in special ways to make their ties end.

if vampires are already dead, then why are there so many ways to kill them?
zombies are undead and all you need to do is shoot em in the head (although setting them on fire works too)
vampires you can use a steak, sunlight, holy water, silver (in some stories), garlic (doesnt kill but inflicts pain), etc.

That makes sense.

Still, why couldn;t they have just called them Living Dead?

far as I know different vampire stories will use a few of those and claim the others are just fiction. Then again most of us get our vampire info from Buffy so... :D

Well, from looking at different fantasy writings, it seems like there are..
There are all sorts of well known undead things.

are y'all aware of that rumor that the CIA manufactured aids in order to kill black people? well, it turns out that that is somewhat true. the CIA isnt interested in killing black people, that would just be wrong. they invented HIV to kill vampires.
y'all are too young to remember the horrible vampire attacks of the mid to late 70s. dont bother asking your parents about it. like their teen drug use its just something they will never tell you about.
anyway, the CIA invented HIV to deal with vampires and it did work. as i said before, the last vampire died in '86. too bad they also spread it to the general population (who knew there were so many vampires in africa??) so its been quite the mixed blessing.

That would depend if they had any cuts, ulcers, or etc to get the intermixing of blood. Just digesting it would probably not get them. As to whether they would die of it, no.
