While the human form of HIV/AIDS is present only in humans, there are similar strains of the AIDS virus that are found in other mammals, such as cats and chimpanzees.

Diseases often aren't spread among different species because we have built up different immunities. Even among human populations, diseases can be much more severe among some cultures than others. Take smallpox, for example. The Europeans had developed some resistance to smallpox prior to "discovering" America. When smallpox was introduced to the Native American population, the native population was decimated because they had no resistance to it.
