They kind of can. We know there are certain kinds of viral particles that seek to infect other viral particles, replacing the “prey” virus’ genetic code with the ‘hunters’. The now-reprogrammed ‘prey’ virus will go an infect it’s target like normal, only instead of making ‘prey virus’ copies, it’ll make ‘hunter virus’ copies.
I can only tell you think this is exists, but we’ve only seen it in a few cases in nature. I am not sure if this behavior is occurring within human bodies.
