HIV as a BSL4 only disease

Did anybody else lol at this? I recently watched this movie again for nostalgic purposes and simply lol'd at classifying HIV for study in BSL4 laboratories. Oh the misconceptions of the 1990s.

Meh. Knowledge advances, technology develops, understandings change.

Why on earth would you think it was funny?

You might very well think that. I couldn't possibly comment.

HIV WASN'T BSL4 in this movie. It was BSL3. No known cure, but not highly virulent.

Are you not entertained?!
