Can you gets AIDS from animals?

Answer 1

Gross

This is not exactly my forte... I would have to say that if you sleep with an animal you will always get an STD, always.

But as far as eating an animal (or being eaten by) that has been infected with an STD... I would have to give that a nod to the no-side. Mind you, it is possible- lots of food carries disease and animal bites can transfer rabies. I think as long as the food is cooked well there is nothing to worry about- I mean, look at people in Africa... they got AIDs from live monkeys, not dead cooked ones.

In most cases it would be unlikely as the illnesses that play host to different animals are more likely to infect a similar animal and not s dis similar one. however diseases can mutate as has been demonstrated recently with bird flue and aids so it is definitely risky behaviour.
There has been some speculation that most STD's have come from people who have become too "friendly" with animals.
no way Jose
None, it's totally socially acceptable to do beastiality, but make sure to use a condom.
Yes they can and it's possible to catch other dangerous diseases by having sex with animals.

Humans can catch some sexually transmitted diseases from animals such as B. canis by contact with body fluids of infected dogs, especially semen, urine and vaginal fluids.

Answer 2

You can't catch AIDS - you can only catch HIV (the virus which causes AIDS).

The human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) only affects humans. You can't catch HIV from animals and animals can't be infected with it / be carriers of it.

Unless you found out that you had it before 1985 when they didn't test the blood donations for the HIV/AIDS viruses.

Simian AIDS

A similar virus, Simian Immunodeficiency Virus, or SIV, exists in certain species of monkeys and apes. It is from SIV infections in humans that HIV came into existence in the first half of the 20th century. SIV infections in humans are rare, and probably due to exposure to the blood of the infected animals. Unless you are exposed to certain species in Africa or in laboratories, you won't get infected from monkeys.

Answer 3

The bacteria Chlamydia psittaci is carried or transmitted by animals by various means including through the mucus membranes. It is rife in the koala population.

This bacteria is not to be confused with the human STD chlamydia trachomatis.

There is no evidence to suggest animal chlamydia can be transmitted to humans or vice versa.
