hiv and health related question concerning cats/kitty litter

[Guest guest]

Pets Are Wonderful Support in San Francisco, PAWS has published an updated Safe Pets Guidelines. The link to their pdf document is at http://www.pawssf.org/education.html.

FYI- Toxo blood titres should be done as part of baseline testing. My understanding is that all cases when toxo has caused problems usually at very low CD4 counts, and very nasty ones usually- brain lesions leading to stroke, has been from previously acquired exposure to toxo from childhood being activated and not from newly acquired cases. It would be important to have a new kitty be confined to indoors.

By the way I forgot to mention,The cat can also be tested for toxoplasmosis, he might not have it.
