Rabies can only survive outside of a host animal for a very short time, and is only spread through saliva during the end stages of the disease when the animal wouldn't be eating anyway. If by some chance the cats carried rabies and nibbled at your food, then they are not yet at a point in the disease to shed virus, so you should be safe on that regard at least.

Cats and other animals are not affected by HIV in the same way that humans are; the Centers for Disease Control is clear on this issue. HIV will not cause illness in household pets and cannot be transmitted from an infected person to the pet, and then to you. Certain viruses cause diseases that are similar to HIV in animals, such as feline leukemia virus (FeLV), but will not cause illness in healthy humans.
