Cats can get AIDS too. I came across this article about the US government approving the production and commercial use of the vaccine for feline immunodeficiency virus (FIV). Although that's good news to some, I find myself worried about my cat. They usually get infected through bite wounds as it is the infected cat's saliva that is loaded with the virus. symptoms, which may show five to ten years after contact, include weight loss, diarrhea, fever, and swollen lymph nodes.
No, the virus has no effect on humans, may it be an infection or disease. The virus, however, can attack the feline's immune system, making the animal more susceptible to diseases and infections in contrast with the FIV-free.
