Dr Kim Tutt is a qualified veterinarian with a special interest and focus on ophthalmology. For some years veterinarians and researchers have noticed syndromes of immunodeficiency or weakness of the immune system in cats which could not be explained. The similarity between the syndrome in these cats and in humans suffering from AIDS was clear. The viruses also cause illness directly, and various forms of cancer (especially lymphoma and lymphoid leukaemia), as well as bone marrow failure, anaemia, fading kittens, and kidney problems are associated with the infection. There are now well-developed and sensitive tests available to identify cats infected with the viruses and these can be performed by your veterinarian in the consulting room or by veterinary laboratories. There is currently no effective treatment available. Secondary syndromes such as bacterial infections are treated individually and symptomatically. Cancers can be removed or treated with chemotherapy in some instances. Resolution of one secondary infection is often followed by another. Prevention is thereforee most important and your veterinarian will be able to advise you specific to your circumstances. It should be remembered though that is not necessary to put all infected cats to sleep. As long as an infected cat is living a quality life and secondary problems are controlled, and the cat is not a threat to others, it may live a long time. Importantly, cats with AIDS do not infect humans and pose no threat to the health of its human family.
