AIDS is a retrovirus. In cats, the virus can go undetected in the bone marrow and circulation for a couple of years and then become detected once more. Kittens born of a dam infected with FeLV will always have to be considered possible FeLV cats when making differential diagnoses.

AIDS is not a retrovirus. HIV is a retrovirus and is claimed to be the cause of the large collection of diseases that are lumped together under the term AIDS.

This is well known.

It is also unproven. Just for drill do a Google search looking for the definitive evidence that HIV is the cause of AIDS. Good luck. You will need lots of time on your hands. But be forwarned - you will come up empty.
