What did Forrest Gump's wife die of in the movie Forrest Gump?

Forrest Gump's wife died of AIDS in the movie Forrest Gump.

Excerpts from the English version are as follows:

Jenny: Forrest, I'm sick.

Jenny: Forrest, I'm sick.

Forrest Gump: What, do you have a cold and cough?

Forrest Gump: Oh, do you have a cold?

Jenny: I am infected with AIDS. There is nothing they can do about it.

Jenny: I am infected with AIDS, and there is nothing they can do about it.

The film does not deliberately hide this, but respects history. "Mysterious virus" was the name of AIDS in the 1960s and 1970s, and it was not officially named AIDS until the mid-1980s. Jenny died on 1982, so when she had the above conversation with Forrest Gump, there was no name of AIDS.

Extended data

AIDS is a very harmful infectious disease, which is caused by HIV infection. HIV is a virus that can attack the human immune system. It takes CD4T lymphocytes, the most important cells in human immune system, as its main target, and destroys them in large quantities, making human body lose its immune function.

Studies show that AIDS originated in Africa and was brought to the United States by immigrants. On June 5th, 198 1, the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention published a case report of 5 AIDS patients in Morbidity and Mortality Weekly, which is the first official record of AIDS in the world.

In 1982, this disease is named "AIDS". Soon after, AIDS quickly spread to all continents. 1985, a foreigner who traveled to China fell ill and died soon after being admitted to Peking Union Medical College Hospital, and was later confirmed to have died of AIDS. This is the first case of AIDS in China.

Most of them are young and middle-aged, and 80% of them are in 18 ~ 45, which is the age when sexual life is more active. After being infected with AIDS, they often suffer from some rare diseases, such as pneumocystis pneumonia, toxoplasmosis, atypical mycobacteria and fungal infections.
