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.

Does bathing in orange juice get rid of AIDS?

If you are referring to body fluids such as blood that is on the surface of your skin or clothing, alcohol, antibacterial soaps, or bleach for clothing or counter tops or surfaces works. If you are asking about curing aids from a person who has the virus, than the answer is no. There is no cure yet. There are many treatments that slow the progression dramatically if you stay on them faithfully. There is research being done right now on cats, because they are able to be given the HIV virus and their body somehow fights it off and kills it. This is not the same virus referred to as feline aids, which is actually lukemia, and has no relation to HIV. It is very deadly to cats which is how it coined the name feline aids.
