Best Answer

Horses cannot carry the human version of HIV, but they can contract an equine version known as Equine Infectious Anemia (EIA). It is transmitted through insect bites from an infected horse or through contaminated needles.

EIA cannot be transmitted to humans and when a horse is found to have EIA it must either be permanently quarantined inside or euthanized to prevent spread of the disease.

Equine Infectious Anemia is a contagious disease of horses that has, since the 1800's, resulted in outbreaks which killed large numbers of horses in many countries.
