We're still looking into it - we haven't pushed any code changes that would have made a difference here, so it's unclear what is suddenly causing it.

It was a database insertion error :|
Resolved.

"Your bites won't infect anyone!" "Unfortunately, your strain hasn't progressed far enough for your bite to be effective, but try again later!" Still not working for me as a level 8 zombie
When i load my wardrobe it looks like I have two diseases at the same time confused So when it loads I see for a split second another virus, and then the rest of my HA loads on top of it with my level 8 love bug.

I, unfortunately, still have the Lovebug strain I did not pick. :(
Is this a separate issue? Should I open a new thread about this?
[edit] I opened a ticket about this just in case... I don't want to be stuck with a strain I didn't choose.
It sounds like you've got the base of your avatar set to one thing, and a hex (progressing zombie strain) set to another.

I never signed up for another strain though.
How do I get rid of this?
[edit] Feel free to seek out any humans wishing to make the conversion to one of us on the forums. Be on the lookout for these buttons to find volunteers looking for your virus strain:
I thiiink it works again.

glad the issue is solved, now maybe i can get bitten :)

I'm still showing as infected even though I haven't been bitten. Signed up (and paid 1ml for!!) for a new strain this morning before I saw these issues were happening.

I haven't chosen a virus this second time either, but I was given the same one a second time.
Hooray, we're biting again :D
Good luck on getting the achieve before you go!
Something similar is happening to me. I went to my wardrobe and removed my Butterfly Bruise skin so I can get infected with a different virus. After saving, I suddenly became infected and am stage one of Butterfly Bruise again. No one bit me. VIP is acting like I am stage one and I can't bite people even if I put my original Butterfly Bruise skin back on.
And that's the one I want! :D
I'm on round 2 of Lumi. No clue how that happened.
I hadn't gotten as far as figuring out which one I wanted next.
