I don't think Jenny sleeps with him after she's diagnosed with the (then unknown) HIV.
Jenny considers herself unworthy of any love because of the abuse she suffered as a child at the hands of her father. She knows she's broken and keeps leaving Forest because she doesn't want to drag him down to what she considers her level. It's only when she has a child that she offers and gains unconditional love, and has someone else to live for that she understands she's more than just a broken child grown into a broken woman.
It's funny how many people see this film (myself included) really dislike Jenny for her comings and goings, her inability to commit, etc, but when it's explained from her point of view, she's really a character in need of help and sympathy to overcome her trauma and damage, which Forest eventually does
by loving her, giving her a child, and eventually marrying her.
As I say, it was mostly tongue in cheek, I do realistically understand she should be a sympathetic character but hard to with the way she's written and the emotional hurt she also gives to Forrest.

Totally, and in part because the audience knows they should be together. It's only when you dig a little deeper you realise she's staying away from Forest because she loves him, even though she hurts him every time she leaves. She could stay and be happy, but she thinks she doesn't deserve it, and it's better for Forest if she stays away. On the surface she's flighty and selfish, but her deeper reasons are more noble.
Forest Gump is definitely one of those films you should see at least once. It's modern classic, but it has a flavour of being almost a fantasy tale where remarkable things happen to an ordinary person who's almost too simple to realise that his life is pretty extraordinary. Forest is never bound by his limitations, he just does amazing things because he doesn't stop to think that anything is impossible for him.
It's another remarkable on-screen performance by Tom Hanks.
A light hearted buddy movie about vampire hunters in California which serves its purpose as mindless entertainment to be watched then forgotten about.
The plot is functional and ticks all the boxes – a mix of new and traditional vampire lore, opposite partners (a rebellious lead paired up with a green rookie), mysterious female ally who works for the enemy, an estranged family who are taken hostage – but the rushed and lazy second half spoils it a bit, as does the underdeveloped supporting cast.
The fast paced and destructive action has a comical twist and Snoop Dogg’s character leaves a lasting impression, but it is a bit too puerile at times.

Watched it yesterday and agree with everything including the rating. Worth watching just to see Snoop as he's pretty comical. And clearly high as a kite in every scene. Although he always looks like that so..

Top Gun Maverick, I think i prefer this over the first, can't fault much at all, sound design in the cinema was pure class, Jet weaving in through the canyons, great cast of characters, glad i went to see this in the picture house, a strong 8/10
