He gave the curse to Hisoka while abusing him, which, after years of illness, killed the young man. This implies Muraki is sick himself, and would explain why he's always trying to feed on the lifeforce of others, and is fascinated with immortality, yet isn't poetically associated with vampires. This has added weight, since the show is rife with gay overtones.

The vampire motif isn't brought up that much after being solidly established in the Nagasaki arc where the rape and murder are revealed. But vampirism doesn't have much to do with AIDS, not even in media depiction. At least, not in so much as vampires=gay=AIDS. Not discounting the theory, as it seems reasonable, just pointing out. * It was transmitted as part of rape and killed him slowly, but I'm not sure it quite hits the metaphor level. Because really, what would it be saying except Rapists Can Kill You Slowly, Too?
