Answer:

from what i have seen the answer would be no

Step-by-step explanation:

different animals have different forms of HIV and since they're quite different from humans in terms of genetic makeup it can be quite difficult to transmit the disease to a humans without the immune system getting in the way. but with that being said we must remember that HIV was first introduced to the humans body by diseased monkeys that were most probably poorly hunted or prepared for consumption.
