But WaxOff apparently thought it was possible for HIV to spontaneously occur between non-infected drug users or gay men and thus I wouldn't even have gone as far as to question his opinion on this either.

I read it as saying why we can't treat HIV even though we can make vaccines for influenza without knowing it's origins.
