Can dogs and cats get std's, hiv, aids, etc? Like premiscous dogs/cats who have sex with other dogs/cats?
a lot, do they pass diseases onto each other like humans can with each other? I know aids came from monkey's. But what about dogs/cats?

The diseases animals pass to each other are very serious and often fatal. They are not like STDs but are more like infectious lung and respiratory diseases. (Link below) Keep your animals indoors and don't let them roam at will and you will have healthy pets.
2 :
Yes there is feline AIDS

Funny you should use the word promiscuous when you refer to cats and dogs. Dogs and cats have no inkling as to what morality and fidelity mean, because unlike humans, they are ruled by the estrus cycles which makes females go into heat, and males respond accordingly. If you've noticed, they pretty much ignore each other the rest of the time. Humans and monkeys are promiscuous, but not dogs and cats. I´m sure they get some diseases but I guess STD is not like one of them because they only have intercourse when the female is in heat. Humans, on the other hand, engage in intercourse whenever.
4 :
cats can get feline aids which is like our h.i.v cats get this through fighting with other cats that have it
5 :
Animals view sex as simply passing along their genes to the next generation. No emotional involvement at all. The more serious issues are transmission of diseases that they can carry, such as FIP, feline leukemia, and the results of fights they get into while involved in selecting a mating partner. They are not sexual diseases, just the side effect of being outside and exposed to other animals.
