Q: Can someone with HIV give it to their pets?
A: No. HIV can not be spread to, from, or by cats, dogs, birds, or other pets. Many viruses cause diseases that are like AIDS, such as feline leukemia virus, or FeLV, in cats. These viruses cause illness only in a certain animal and cannot infect other animals or humans. For example, FeLV infects only cats. It does not infect humans or dogs.
Q: Is there a cure for HIV?
A: No. Many researchers continue to work to find a vaccine that will prevent HIV infection and treatments that may one day cure HIV. There are however, medications that can help many people infected with HIV live with the disease and dramatically prolong their lives. It is important that individuals get tested for HIV and know that they are infected early in order for medical care and treatment to have the greatest effect.

Sat, 24 Sep 2011 –
Tuesday, Sept. 27, is designated as National Gay Men’s HIV/AIDS Awareness Day, and in recognition, artist David Bromstad has unveiled a mural he created to promote HIV testing. “I want people to be encouraged and know that getting tested is just something they need to do to maintain their health,” said Bromstad, who hosts HGTV’s “Color Splash.” “It’s like brushing your teeth – not doing it shouldn’t be an option.” The “Know Yourself: Get HIV Tested” event, held last Tuesday, was sponsored by Janssen Therapeutics.
