Vaccination of dogs for rabies is commonly required by law. Please see the article dog health for information on this disease in dogs. [1]
HIV/AIDS has become a chronic rather than an acutely fatal disease in many areas of the world. [203] Prognosis varies between people, and both the CD4 count and viral load are useful for predicted outcomes.

On the other hand, cells infected with HIV are often consumed by E. histolytica.

HIV cannot be cured, but it can be treated, and its transmission can be halted.
