Can someone who has a compromised immune system have a ferret as a pet?


My boyfriend is HIV Positive and He always wanted a ferret...But I don't know if a ferret is like a cat where, with a cat a person with HIV can get toxoplamosis. I just want to be precautious. We both already know what to do before the new arrival. I'm more concerned with him because of his compromised immune system..and he always wanted one.

That is something too serious to ask on Yahoo answers. I would definitely check with your boyfriend's Doctor. Don't take chances.

Sounds like you are a very loving girlfriend!

All 3 answers are most helpful...We feel like new parents. Since I don't have any children and he has 2 of his own...(Already grown) I showed him all your answers and he agreed to speak with his doctor, and I'm gonna speak to the vet...if anything I'll let all of you know... Report It

To Lisa M...Yes He said he's gonna love him or her..but he wants a boy Report It

ask his Doctor and talk to veterinarian before you make a decision

ok ferrets do have the toxoplasmosis (i have two of my own and huse sittingfor one till december) but un like cats they don't spread it. i can't think of the website i got that on go to your search engine and type in ferret medical and just browse the websites. make sure he knows he can have i ferret but i said he BETTER LOVE IT!!!! lol post to let us know what happens plz i would love to know how this goes oh and common human illnesses like colds and such can be pasted betwenn them to us i just got over a cold and now one of them has it lisa and andy and our kids Zeus, Asia and nephew Splinter
