To the person who commented that he/she is "a bit dissapointed at HIV being described in such an anthropomorphic way," you seem to be looking for a fault here. Anyone would know it's just a shorthand of describing what the HIV virus, after having evolved its abilities, does so well. Do you really think that most people know what they REALLY are striving for when they go to work, etc.? I encourage you to read "The Selfish Gene" by Richard Dawkins and please, don't get turned off so easily by a phrase, will you?
