There is no antigenic relationship between FIV and HIV, nor does FIV grow in human T-cells.  infection: coord IM with LENTIVIRUS INFECTIONS (IM) or FELINE ACQUIRED IMMUNODEFICIENCY SYNDROME (IM) if so specified by author; DF: FIV    Other names FIV; Puma lentivirus; Lentivirus, Puma; Feline T-Lymphotropic Lentivirus; Feline Immunodeficiency Virus; FTLV; T-Lymphotropic Virus, Feline; T-Lymphotropic Lentivirus, Feline; Lentivirus, Feline T-Lymphotropic; Feline T Lymphotropic Virus; Feline T Lymphotropic Lentivirus; Feline Immunodeficiency Viruses; Feline T-Lymphotropic Virus
