If someone with AIDS shagged a cow, or if a cow was to receive infected blood, would it be possible the cow could be infected?

Just to settle an office dispute.

I'd say no due to how HIV reproduces itself.

Not sure how viably it could be passed on "cross-species" hence all the debate on animal testing for human diseases.

Try a google search.

I was thinking a similar thing last night actually, i.e, what would happen if you eat a chicken with cancer?

Cool

Correct me if I am wrong and probably am but was AIDS not transfered to humans from monkeys in the first place?????

That is cross species unless you count humans and monkey as very similar.

Why would you want to **** a cow anyway ???????

Where the **** did that question come from? I nearly p1ssed myself when I read your post.

You must have some interesting work chats.

I don't know the answer but it's viral and they don't generally cross to other species.

Maybe it'd catch it if it did **** LOL

the prevailing theory is that AIDS started out as Simian (ie monkey) virus and somehow (Small Pox vaccination developed in Chimpanzee's Tissue cultures?) crossed over into the humna polulation. There is no reason to believe that it could infect a cow, chicken, hamster, dog or any other animal that you fancy having a go at, apart from possibly a monkey...

what did you say your job was again?
