cats

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
3 :
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. IÂ´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.

I would venture to say no as for the splashing. It's rare that you get it from sitting on the toilet with a cut on your butt unless there is a super huge amount of blood from the both of you. May I suggest that you get educated about AIDs/HIV so that you don't panic.
2 :
yea you could it is very easy to contract HIV, you have to be very careful living in a house with two people infected. Also your parents should clean everything they use after, and if they have any open cuts or wounds they must be covered. Since you are living with them you should get tested for HIV every 6 months, and make sure your parents use disposable cups to drink from! Honestly i don't want to make you upset or anything but you should probably move in with a aunt or grandmother or something, i understand their your parents but its not a good environment to be in.

No. An HIV test looks for antibodies to the virus and leukemia is a problem of white blood cells. You need a complete blood count to screen for leukemia.

No - the HIV test, tests for the presence of the HIV. Luekemia is an entirely different type of illness with an entirely different test. Medical labs have to specifically test for what they are investigating. It is not like they can just put blood etc into a machine and it diagnoses all our ills.
2 :
NO it is not. But from a CBC that is a test that generally leads to a bone marrow test to find out if you do have it. That is how they found out that I had leukemia. I still have to have all kinds of blood tests to show that I do not have it. I have been in remission for 2 years and 5 months, and so far I have not had to have a bone marrow test. I certainly hope that you are not thinking that you have leukemia. It is a bad type of cancer.

what is the relationship between HIV/AIDS and drugs and alcohol abuse

How does drugs influence the spread of hiv/aids among the young people

it doesnt its the drugs that spread the HIV'AIDS And the drugs that do that are the ones you shot up.
2 :
I think they lose the sense of responsibility when they become intoxicated. This happens to adults , too.
3 :
-sharing needles very easy way to transmit -drunk/drug act less responsibly less likely to practice safe sex -the "crowd" you associte with in drugs circles more likely to be infected -some scientists beleive that AIDS is a by product/result of some drug combinations (or at very best enhances the spread) -lowers your immunity to all illnesses
4 :
they cloud their judgement when it comes to sharing a needle or having unprotected sex, someone that is all cracked out isn't going to think about using a condom
5 :
If you are high or drunk then you are not thinking straight. People who aren't thinking straight tend to be careless. Sharing a needles or having sex without a condom is careless. Carelessness is what causes this disease to continue to spread.

Apart from sharing needles how does HIV/AIDS start

Apart from sharing needles how does HIV/AIDS start?

Infectious Diseases - 9 Answers
Random Answers, Critics, Comments, Opinions :
1 :
unprotected sex
2 :
from having unprotected sex, either male/male or male/female. blood transfusions, tho nowadays there are checks in place to prevent this.
3 :
Monkeys
4 :
By HIV infected blood entering your bloodstream, so via needle-sharing, sex, blood transfusions (but not through kissing, swimming pools, sharing tableware or other normal social interaction).
5 :
Sharing of body fluids: sexual contact, blood in eyes or mouth or open wounds-- there are a lot of ways hypothesized, but most have very low risk potential. It's not proven you can get it from tears, mosquito bites and other small-volume transfers.
6 :
1. unprotected sex 2. tainted blood transfusions 3. could be passed on to the child by the mother if she is carrying the virus
7 :
This is from the site linked below, "HIV is spread by sexual contact with an infected person, by sharing needles and/or syringes (primarily for drug injection) with someone who is infected, or, less commonly (and now very rarely in countries where blood is screened for HIV antibodies), through transfusions of infected blood or blood clotting factors. Babies born to HIV-infected women may become infected before or during birth or through breast-feeding after birth." There is much more information at the CDC site linked below.
8 :
Oh wow! It could start from anything sexual since it is transmitted throuh bodily fluids.
