Can HIV/ AIDS be transmitted to dogs?!


Question: Can HIV/ AIDS be transmitted to dogs?
Watching a police show that centers around a Canine unit. Wondering if the dog bit someone with a blood born pathogen- disease would it infect the dog? Specifically something like HIV or AIDS? Hepatitis?

Answers:

No, dogs cannot get human blood-borne diseases except rabies, which is extremely rare even if the dog were not vaccinated for it.
Cats can get feline AIDS, but this is not the same disease as human AIDS, and cats can't get human AIDS nor can humans get feline AIDS.
There is no canine AIDS. So dogs cannot get AIDS of any kind.



I think that can't be. when a dog bit it hurt and some time bleeding also.It can causes deases to the person who got bite from dog. because the bacteria can transfer from fresh blood. But when dog swallow the blood with hiv or aids. That blood can not harm because the blood is in the dogs digestive system not in blood.



Cats i believe... FAIDS...
