HIV is Human Immunodeficiency Virus, therefore, it only affects
humans.  There are other immunodeficiency viruses that affect cats,
such as Feline Immunodeficiency Virus (FIV), but they are of no risk
to humans.

Thank you for your question.  If you need any additional
clarification, please let me know.
