There is no cure for FIV, and the use of vaccines to prevent infection is somewhat controversial.FIV is a lentivirus, a virus that causes slowly developing disease. Though eventually fatal, an FIV-positive cat can live for many years without any signs of illness.PrevalenceFIV occurs worldwide and its prevalence varies geographically. About 1.5% to 3% of cats in the United States are infected with FIV. About 5% of FIV-positive cats also have feline leukemia virus (FeLV)."

Can cats get AIDS?
Cats can't "catch" AIDS from a human being.Humans can suffer from HIV, or Human Immunodeficiency Virus but a cat can only suffer from the feline version, which is called Feline Immunodeficiency Virus (or FIV).How sad!Believe it or not, cats can contract FIV (feline immunodeficiency virus) which is a feline version of the AIDS virus. FIV is part of the same family of viruses as the human immunodeficiency virus (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.
