No. No more than the Easter Bunny or the Tooth Fairy.

It appears that the V5 myth rose out of the British TV miniseries Ultraviolet in which the the word "vampire" is never uttered. The government backed vampire hunting squad the main character discovers subtitutes "Code 5" or the Roman numeral V to denote cases and targets. Hence, V5.

A number of vampire enthusiasts who have taken role playing and fantasy a bit too far, latched on to the misattribution, and adopted it as the rationalization of bizarre, unstable behavior.

More recently, the V5 myth has transformed slightly, and become the K-17 Virus myth. Rather than transliterate from the film, vampire fans stole the idea directly from the 2002 movie Reign in Darkness. Vampire apocalypse movies such as these seem to bring dysfunction out of the woodwork.

Do people who get infected by the vampire virus die?

No. Vampires are not real. The Vampire Virus (V5) is just a myth. Since there are no vampires and no vampire virus; no one can get infected and die from it. As for fictional stories which contain vampires: it is entirely up to the author whether someone can die in a fictional world. Most vampire stories contain different rules for how vampirism works. But fiction is not reality.

What is the V5 retrovirus and its connection to vampires?

Vampires (in the classical sense) are entirely fictional creatures.Among the latest pseudoscience is the V5 or "vampire retrovirus" on which some "vampire lifestyle" hoaxes are based. While the concepts may seem appealing for some, and entertaining, it is important to note that no actual vampires (mortal or immortal) exist in the real world.However, that does not prevent individuals from emulating the habits or traits of vampires, which have become a popular media genre over the years. Individuals may exhibit or adopt vampire traits -- nocturnalism, cutaneous porphyria, albinism, anemia, hunger for blood, or delusions of supernatural powers. Various vampire organizations and cults have appeared in modern times.The scientific analysis on the subject is limited to the physical and psychological manifestations of those who self-identify as "vampires" -- they are only conceptually connected to the folklore surrounding vampirism.(see the related links to science site and vampire lifestyle site)

How can humans turn into a vampire?

In the real world, it's not possible because vampires like in the movies do not exist. However the most popular answer is that a vampire must first drink or drain much of the human blood out of their victim. Then the victim has to drink some of the vampire's blood. This is the only way to get the vampire virus into a humans system. It then spreads throughout their body turning them into a vampire.
