Why isn’t HIV airborne like other diseases ? or at least transmit it through saliva ?

Aren’t organisms trying to find the most hosts so it can have more chances to survive ? sure it would kill all its hosts in short time but organisms don’t rationalize like we do, so why won’t it seek to become way more transmissible ?

Certain viruses affect certain cells. In the case of HIV, it replicates by binding to the Tcell in the blood stream. T cell concentration elsewhere may not be high. Flu and Coronavirus affects certain cells in the lungs which makes it much easier to xmit by air.
