From what I read, everyone is already infected, it's death that triggers the virus to make you turn into a zombie. The zombies themselves seem to carry a more potent form in their saliva that causes death and subsequently then transformation. Supposedly that is the effect of what the scientist at the CDC whispered into Rick's ear before they left.
