no not at all,
lets say you aquire a virus, the virus inserts its own gene in your gene ( so the virus can replicate itsself useing your own genetic matierial, this is how viruses reproduce)...this virus insertion-information will forever be a part of you genetic information , and your direct desendants for all long as you desendants keep reproducing will always have that original virus information that you your self aquired.
we did not evolve from apes , but share a common ancestor, as evidenced by retrovirus insertions in the genomes of primates and man ( and all other animals closely related)...the exact same retrovirus insertions in the exact same place in the genomes, indicate at one time in the past primates and humans shared the exact same genome.
viruses do not insert genetic info in the exact same place everytime..there are millions if not billions of places to insert...the fact that primates and humans share the same insertions, is empirical evidence that they both at one time shared the same common ancestor in the past
