Why dont dogs get "AIDS"?????
If dogs/cats have a retroviral infection similar to HIV it has not been identified. There is some suspicion that they do and a recent paper "Possible relationships between canine hematopoietic neoplasia, other malignancies and immune mediated diseases" by G. Theilen, in Leukemia April 1997 suggested that there may be an unidentified retrovirus infecting some dogs. However, it has not been suggested that this is human


immunodeficiency virus.





Dogs and cats are both being used in studies relating to the control or cure of HIV but these studies do not involve infection of dogs or cats with the HIV virus. They relate to things like immunosuppression of T cells with cyclosporin or similar treatments that are studied in dogs or cats in the hope that the information will apply to human patients who actually are infected with HIV.
