No. FIV and HIV are truly like apples and Oranges. While both are fruits, they can only grow on a specific tree.
I had an FIV positive cat for 6 years until his immune system could no longer keep up. There is no danger of infection to you; however it is imperative that you keep the cat isolated from other cats at all times, which usually means keeping them indoors. He/she will be highly susceptable to infection, and will require extra cleaning care. Otherwise they are just as wonderful and safe to keep as any other cat.

∙ 13y agoCats cannot catch HIV off humans but they can catch FIV (Feline imunnodeficiency Virus) from other infected cats which is very similar to human HIV.
Just like the human variety, FIV attacks the cat's immune system; weakening it and leaving the cat prone to a variety of illnesses and infections.
FIV is most often found in blood, saliva and other fluids. The most common means of transmission is through bite wounds. FIV, like HIV, can also be transmitted via sexual activity, and the infected mother can pass it onto her kittens.
While there is no cure, a cat can live many years in relative comfort with the right care and proper treatments.

∙ 13y agoYes, it is FIV (much like the feline form of HIV found in humans) and can be contracted by sexual or fluid interactions with other cats.
