Now thats what I call a retroinfection!!! Shazam!
Again, a biology joke. Sorry if its too specific.
Retrovirus (like HIV) are interesting in many ways. One of them is they break the "CENTRAL DOGMA OF MOLECULAR BIOLOGY" [link] by converting RNA into DNA (hence the prefix Retro-)
I'm imagining this virus swiming in someone's fluids at the sound of Blue Monday by New Order.

This is my favourite one! 
I've seen a version with an actual retrovirus but this is way funnier!
Hi, was this version? i.pinimg.com/originals/df/6d/0…
I made that one after seeing so many people bothered by the fact that these were phages and not actual retrovirus.

Yes, most likely this one.
"Lol stfu bacteriofag!"
This thing are deadly serious!
I love this one! But I think the first one is a bacteriophag. (I don't know the word in English.)
You are correct. Its a bacteriophage.
I made a scientifically correct version with actual retroviruses but it doesn't look as funny and it is remarkably less popular. Sometimes you have to be a bit more relaxed about the science when your aim is humour and puns.

I think you're right. (o=0 Biology 4-EVER!
That retrovirus got groove! He's gonna get all up in my genome, if you know what I mean. 
There is sensuality in retrotransposition. You just need to squint!
Indeed!
Awesome! 
jimmy neutron?
oh this is very cool and awesome ^^
, I hope I may also use it for my presentation... 
What kind of presentation is it?
about how the Retrovirus replicates it self and other virus. I want to compare them and use the picture to end my presentation, I think it's a nice one
Cool! Feel free to use it for your presentation.
thank you very much
This is awesome.

Hi Velica, I am a medical student presenting on HTLV, a retrovirus, would you mind if I used your image? It's really cool!
