No. HIV can not be spread to, from, or by cats, dogs, birds, or other pets. Many viruses cause diseases that are like AIDS, such as feline leukemia virus, or FeLV, in cats. These viruses cause illness only in a certain animal and cannot infect other animals or humans. For example, FeLV infects only cats. It does not infect humans or dogs.

Yes, and no. Animals cannot harbor the specific strand of HIV/AIDS which humans are vulnerable to. "HIV" stands for Human Immunodeficiency Virus, in itself excluding other animals. However, multitudes of animals including monkeys and mice can carry specified variations of HIV/AIDS for their species which have extremely similar effects as HIV/AIDS has on humans.

AIDS is a syndrome caused by the Human Immunodeficiency Virus (or HIV) for short). It cannot be passed on to a dog. Their immune systems are built much differently than those of a human.

Yes. Many cats and dogs can live through it also. Others may suffer and die. But many cats and dogs have shortened lives with AIDS,HIV and cancer.
