What kingdom does HIV belong to?
HIV is a virus (human immunodeficiency virus), and is not assigned to a kingdom. The highest taxonomic rank given to viruses is Order.
There is, however, no general agreement on virus classification. One system, the Baltimore classification, divides all viruses into seven groups. Of these, HIV belongs to Group VI. These have their genes in the form of single-stranded RNA.
Some of the viruses in Group VI are called retroviruses, because they use information in RNA to direct the synthesis of DNA, rather than the other way round. HIV is a retrovirus.
There are many animals that fit this description. There are turtles, clams, and mollusks. I would add insects to this list, but technically the covering they have is a skeleton, an exoskeleton, and so it would not be considered.

What is the Scientific name for the tortoiseshell cat?
It's still a Felis catus (domestic cat), but has a different coat colour to other cats. I'm afraid you don't get specific names for different individuals with similar traits in the same species.
The scientific name would therefore be Tortoiseshell-Felis catus... lol.
If a more technical name has been made for the colour, I don't know it (unless you consider that one of the many other words that mean Tortoiseshell is more technical).
Sorry that I didn't help much.
