猫艾滋FIV
都市传说 VS 科学事实
猫艾滋是什么
养猫爱猫人可能听说过FIV， 或是它更通俗的名字“猫艾滋”。FIV全称Feline Immunodeficiency Virus 猫免疫缺陷病毒， 感染该病毒会导致猫咪免疫系统受损， 从而降低它们抵抗其他病菌感染的能力。然而，除了“猫艾滋”这个耸人听闻而且不准确的名字引起的恐惧之外，我们对FIV的了解程度仍然停留在少量的事实夹杂着大量的道听途说。今天让我们来认识一下关于FIV的都市传说和科学事实。
FIV stands for Feline Immunodeficiency Virus, a condition that weakens a cat’s immune system. Most of us have heard of FIV, however, myths about the disease abound and are easily mistaken for reality.
都市传说 1
携带FIV病毒的猫咪活不长而且需要特殊照顾
科学事实：绝大多数FIV阳性的猫咪可以有健康长寿的猫生，终其一生不显示任何FIV的临床症状。FIV阳性的猫咪免疫系统比较弱，所以应该养在室内，以保护它们不受户外环境中的病毒和细菌感染。FIV阳性的猫咪不需要特殊照顾，给予高蛋白、营养均衡的饮食，不喂生肉，做好绝育、免疫和驱虫，每年或每半年体检一次，它们的寿命和普通室内猫没有差别，且远较生活在户外的和猫咪长寿。
Myth#1: Cats
with FIV don’t live long and require special care.
Truth: Many FIV+ cats live long, healthy lives. They can live their entire life without ever coming down with any symptoms of FIV. As long as they are not exposed to any other virus or bacteria that their weakened immune system can’t handle,they can live healthy, normal lives. For this reason, cats with FIV should be kept indoors, fed a balanced, nutritionally complete diet (no raw meats), and should see a vet twice per year.
都市传说 2
携带FIV病毒的猫咪最终会发展成艾滋病而死亡
科学事实：虽然FIV与人类HIV病毒在构造上具有相关性，它们致病过程并不相同，FIV最终发展成艾滋病的几率远远低于HIV。医学研究表明，90%携带FIV病毒的猫可以完全正常生活，不显示临床症状，当它们寿终正寝时，死亡原因是老死或其他与衰老相关的病症，而不是艾滋病。
Myth #2: Cats who have the virus will eventually develop the disease and die from it.
Truth: Feline immunodeficiency virus infection does not lead to acquired immunodeficiency syndrome in cats as often as human immunodeficiency virus leads to AIDS in people. 90% of cats who have the actual FIV virus will lead completely normal lives.
都市传说 3
我的狗和孩子会传染FIV
科学事实：FIV病毒只在猫之间传播，不会传染人、狗、 蜥蜴、仓鼠或任何其他动物。
Myth#3: My dogs or children are at risk of contracting FIV.
Truth: FIV is a species-specific disease. It cannot be transmitted to humans or any other animal. Your dog, horse, iguana or gerbil cannot contract FIV.
都市传说 4
我的其他猫和FIV阳性的猫同吃同睡，也会传染FIV
科学事实： 现代医学研究表明，FIV的传播需要非常密切的身体接触，最主要的途径是猫打斗时很深的咬伤， 所以生活在户外、未绝育的公猫是最容易感染的群体，而室内猫被感染的情况非常少见。 由于FIV病毒在猫咪体外最多只能存活几秒钟，而且很容易被洗涤剂或消毒液杀死，所以日常生活中的接触很难传播病毒。很多研究显示， 在一个FIV阳性猫和正常猫混居的多猫家庭里，只要猫咪之间关系稳定，不互相打斗，FIV病毒不会互相传染。
Myth#4: My other cats will get FIV from eating out of the same bowls or sleeping with a FIV+cat.
Truth:
Modern medical research has shown that transmission requires serious physical interaction. Deep bite wounds seem to be the primary mode of the virus transmission. The virus can only live a few seconds outside the body, and can be easily killed by detergent or diluted bleach, so sharing food and water bowls is not an issue. Studies show that FIV+ cats living in a multi cat home do not appear to spread the disease as long as all the cats in the household have a stable social structure where housemates do not fight.

FIV测试结果显示FIV病毒的存在，并且完全准确
科学事实：FIV测试结果不证明FIV病毒的存在，只证明病毒抗体的存在。该测试有20%的误差率，在测试幼猫时更加高。FIV阳性的母猫几乎不可能把病毒传给幼崽，但可能经由哺乳把抗体传给它们，这种情况下的幼猫在八个月之前会被测试出FIV阳性。世界上仍有成千上万的小猫会因为这种测试错误而被安乐。
Myth #5: The FIV test shows the existence of the FIV virus，and is 100% reliable
Truth: The test measures nothing but antibodies which are microscopic organisms that fight the virus. The error rate is more than 20%, and even higher in kittens. FIV Infected mothers rarely, if ever, pass the infection to their kittens, but the kittens may test positive at first because of the presence of the maternal antibodies. Thousands of kittens are killed because of the errors.
FIV阳性不是死亡判决书，让我们用科学理性的方式面对它。假如您的猫咪被检测出阳性，请和您的兽医一起制定一个有效的管控计划。对于没有临床病症的猫咪来说，只要保证高品质的食物，适当添加Lysine赖氨酸、Omega3/Omega6不饱和脂肪酸等抗氧化元素，及时医治任何细菌和病毒感染，包括预防跳蚤等体内外寄生虫的感染。各种继发性感染对FIV阳性猫咪的威胁最大，包括膀胱、肾脏、皮肤和上呼吸道的炎症，对所有猫咪来说，这些感染都应该及时治疗，对FIV阳性的猫咪来说尤其重要。
The bottom line is that a positive test for FIV is not a mandatory death sentence. If your cat has been diagnosed as FIV-positive, you'll want to work with your veterinarian in designing a management program. For cats with no other symptoms, and otherwise generally good health, this might simply be a matter of ensuring he gets a sound diet, possibly with added vitamins, anti-oxidants, and Omega 3/Omega 6 fatty acids, as well as prompt, aggressive treatment of infections andother conditions as they crop up. Even flea control is important, as fleas transmit a number of other parasites such as Bartonella. The largest threat to FIV-positive cats is secondary infections, such as bladder, skin, and upper respiratory infections. Kidney failure is also frequently seen in cats with FIV. These secondary infections should be treated promptly and aggressively in any cat, but especially with an FIV cat.
爪园现有FIV阳性的健康猫咪几个，他们和其他所有猫咪一样活泼亲人，盼望一个生存下去的机会，一个属于自己的家。The bottom line is that a positive test for FIV is not a mandatory death sentence.

Currently there are several healthy cats with FIV living at PPAR shelter. They are just like any other cats; FIV does not stop them from purring,playing, cuddling and loving people. They deserve to be loved back. So please consider opening your heart and giving them a home.
惬意的午后，他们和其他猫咪一样享受阳光。在基地为数不多可以晒到阳光的房间里，特地为他们安排在这，他们需要的是更好的照顾，而不是默默被隔离在某个角落，然后遗忘 --- 他们反而是我们最关注的宝贝。
In a lazy afternoon, they are enjoying the sunshine just like other cats. There are not many rooms where can get sunshine all the time, these cats are settled in this room because they deserve more attention and love instead of being separated and forgotten. They are the ones we care the most.
伸懒腰的是花宝，三花妹妹，大约3岁。
Huabao is stretching her body. She is about 3 years old with three colors.
眼前走来的是两位气场强大的喵老大---秋秋和大白熊
Here come two “gangsta” cats ——Qiuqiu and Big Bear
秋秋小的时候被困于地铁站里，从小到大经历了不少坎坷，他是一个粘人的孩子，在寄养家庭时粘着寄养人天天要睡一起，而和秋秋每天滚爬在一起的猫咪测出是FIV阴性---可见正常接触传染的概率确实是极低的。
Qiuqiu was stuck in metro station when he was a kitten and he suffered a lot. He is a needy boy. When he lived in the foster, he loved to sleep together with people and the cats that stayed with him during that time didn’t get infected by his disease at all, which means there is very low possibility to get contact infection.
大白熊，3岁弟弟，鸳鸯眼大白猫，特点就是一个字：肥！身强体重的他，不会被病毒打倒哦～
Big Bear is a three-year-old boy. He has got green-blue eyes and he is FAT. He is actually very strong and he doesn’t get beaten by the disease.
小虎(M，4~5岁)是个圆头圆脸的经典桔虎斑，是救助人遇到过的最亲人的猫咪，没有之一。认识小虎的初期，他天天晚上跑前跑后跟着救助人遛狗，绝育后他就住在救助人的院子里，晚上回家第一眼看见的就是他在门口等候的剪影。小虎治疗口炎时查出FIV+，救助人很想收养他，无奈家里已满员，还有一个颜值低、心胸狭窄而且有暴力侵向的壮年男猫，不适合与FIV猫共处，所以只能继续委曲他住在室外。小虎免疫齐全，每月按时驱虫，口炎经拔牙治疗，恢复得很好。
Little Tiger is a chubby orange tabby cat. He is the sweetest cat that the rescuer has ever seen. He used to walk the dog together with the rescuer and after he got neutered, he stayed in the yard of the rescuer, waiting for him to come back home from work everyday. When Little Tiger went to the vet’s to get stomatitis treatment, he was diagnosed as FIV+. The rescuer wanted to adopt him, but he has got too many cats at home and one of the cats is super aggressive, so Little Tiger could only stay outside of the room. He is regularly dewormed and he is recovering from the stomatitis.
Tiger，弟弟，大大的眼睛非常漂亮有神，体格健硕浑圆，比大多数猫都亲人活泼，可以任由陌生人抚摸，哪怕猫咪最敏感的PP都不介意触摸，甚至十分懂事的呼之则来，挥之则去。
Tiger, a little boy with big round eyes. He is more friendly than most of the cats because he can be petted by strangers and he doesn’t even mind being touched around his tail, which is a fairly sensitive area for cats.
免疫系统缺失不代表此生注定悲剧，我们会一如既往爱护他们，尽所能照顾他们。
Immunodeficiency doesn’t
lead to a tragedy of
their whole life, we will love them and take care of them as long as we can.
流浪动物基地必须进行科学化管理，才能确保动物健康。爪园基地的猫咪已进行区隔化管理，除最基础的身体、传染病检查之外，猫艾滋测试阳性的猫咪分开安置，以避免群居猫咪之间因为打斗而被传染。
Stray animal shelter should be in scientific management to make sure the animals are healthy. The cats in PPAR are under regionalization management, which means that the FIV+ cats are separated from other cats to lower the possibilities of infection.
