The Truth About Cats & FIV (Feline Immunodeficiency Virus) by Richard Allen, D. V. M.
 
"The chances of a home are low for cats with the FIV virus in their body.  FIV is a cat-only disease.  You cannot catch FIV from your pet.  FIV is spread between cats by bite wounds and blood transfusions.  FIV can never be spread casually. Casual includes litter boxes, water and food bowls, or snuggling and playing.  FIV cats usually live quite long and quite normal lives. FIV should NOT prevent a delightful feline from coming into your home.  These healthy cats need to find the homes and the love they deserve."
