On 'breed',


Quotation:
A witness who cannot be named told the court that Neal told him in 2005 that he had been targeting teenage boys in suburban toilet blocks to “breed” them—a term used to describe intentionally infecting someone with HIV. Neal also allegedly wore a penis piercing to increase the rate of transmission when he had unprotected sex, the court was told.


My question is, could this actually be, not insanity, but an influence of the virus itself, either to enhance its reproduction, or a reaction to the presence of a virus that can threaten the whole species by forcing evolution of a resistant population?
