Some doctors are concerned that kiddos imitating the Twilight movies will spread the HIV virus.
As you know in the movies there's a scene in which the boy bites the girl. They're afraid that if kiddos do that too the HIV virus will spread.
Doesn't this sound like complete nonsense? Which goofhead is going to bite someone so hard that they'll bleed?

I suppose if the bite is so hard someone can bleed. But what are we saying that children would bit down that hard with such force that they actually can cause someone to bleed, wow.. pretty sad and outrageous to even think of it really.

Yep it's a bad unbelievable one would do that. But since 'fans' ( or should I say 'maniacs') scream they want to have babies with the male character, it doesn't surprise me they'd also bite each other's necks. I just don't think the chance of spreading HIV through biting someone in the neck is so big that it would make sense to create such a fuss about it.

Oh no!Teenagers biting each others necks?
At first I just laughed from what they call twilightmania.But it's getting serious.If you want to see something really crazy, read the posts of obsessed fans on their forums and blogs.Twilight style and haircuts is one thing, but wanting Pattinson's child,losing the virginity to a vampire and keeping wolves at home is something their parents should be worried about.

LOL that is pretty pathetic that they are coming to that conclusion from a movie. I mean jeez seriously whats next. Anyone in their right mind knows they arent a vampire and that biting someone hard enough to draw blood is a bad idea. I like to be biten but not hard enough to draw blood. I just like it in a teasing way. Everyone knows that mixing blood can cause aids. Watching a movie about vampires isnt going to make people go out and start biting everyone.

Well "playful biting" has been around for a very long time as have stories and movies about vampires. I am not sure which came first, but I am pretty certain that this series of movies is not going to have that much of an impact on that front.

hi diamania it does sound pretty preposterous at that. That would'be very painful to bite someone so hard they bleed.wow. I really have never seen
this Twilight series so I have nothing to go on here. but it does not sound'like the series is going to spread the HiV virus.

This happens whenever there's a vampire craze. I remember hearing something about this a few years back.
There actually are people that do the whole "vampire" thing- they don't really bite each other, though. Most consider themselves to be "energy" vampires, but some do the blood thing. I think they just cut each other, though. *shrug* It's some sort of underground thing. And it is in no way shape or form Twilight related :P

Hey I am not agreeing with you. I think it is right there is a scene a movie when vampire bites a girl. But it is not means that it spreads HIV. Because Twilight is a good movie and also there are many movies who have many dirty scenes. But not happen anything wrong. So it is not a big issue. That it spreads HIV virus.

Well teenagers seem influenced a bloody (ahem) lot by that movie. In the sense - there are psychologists who are afraid that cos of twilight girls will start falling for bad and impossible guys, and keep chasing their dreams. I mean seriously - this girl ruins her entire existance and becomes a vampire for the one she loves. That's bad influence.

Girls have been falling for the "bad boys" for as far back in time as is recorded, so I highly doubt this movie is really going to have much of an impact on that one way or the other.

There are many movies and books that glorify this sort of behavior, especially when the girl's love ultimately "fixes" the bad boy and he turns out to be good ... or worse yet are the ones that are portrayed as "bad boys with a heart of gold", even though they do horrible things to people. There are so many books, movies, and television shows that have this type of theme that I really do not see any one of them having much of an impact in and of itself.

I have to agree with what many others have said - this scenario does not seem very likely, especially since Twilight is far less violent than many other vampire movies or television shows. Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Angel were very popular a few years ago, and I never heard too much about them ... certainly nothing related to transmitting HIV, and they were much more violent than Twilight. It seems that there has always been an attraction to vampires, and Twilight is not the first movie to "glamorize" them, so I do not really see any more risk now than before.

The virus wouldnt stand a chance since our stomach have a lot of hydrochloric acids.
Unless you have a sore on your mouth wherein the infected blood can reach and go straight into your blood vessels.
Other than that, it would be impossible.

goofhead lol, sound like my mom.
but i agree with you.
it is hard to believe kids these days will bit someone hard enough to bleed
but i can see where their concerns come from.
kids do take up after what they see in the movies, video games, and tv.
so this is where they get this idea from.
but to bit hard enough to bleed.
that kid need to be taught right from wrong.
peroid.

LOL!Indeed. In fact, why are they implying that more and more kids are HIV positive? Have they forgotten how the it can be transmitted? How can young children ever acquire HIV? Come on! ^_^

Actually, young children can acquire HIV many different ways. They could be born with it, because it can be passed from the parents to the child. They could get it through a blood transfusion, although that is much less likely these days as blood is normally screened. Still, there are people around the world that have it, and not all countries have the same screening procedures, so it is possible. They could come in contact with someone else that has it, and there could be blood to blood contact - that does not seem very likely, either, but young children always seem to be scraping themselves by falling or something so it can happen. There are other more sinister ways for them to get it as well, but we will not go into that here.
