well, it is really difficult for a cat to get FIV. They have to be aggressive and leave deep bite wounds. It's not like Feline Leukemia where they can sneeze and spread it. I know some people get them confused, so just so that everyone knows that FIV is not a death sentence for a kitty. With good vet care, a safe and healthy environment (I have a HEPA filter from when the one foster kitty I had that had chronic upper respiratory infections... i think that was from being in the shelter for over 2yrs), feed them good food. They are more susceptible to certain things, like dry and cracked paw pads, upper respiratory infections and bad teeth, but other than that, if they are given a good diet and treated like any other normal cat, they are fine.

Let me know what she says.. maybe her other fosters are aggressive, which would be a concern. Almost every FIV+ kitty I've met has been male, and I think that happens a lot of times because they are left unneutered, and are outside and strays, and end up in fights with other tom cats in the same position. It's a sad situation.

One side note... I did have one FIV+ kitty that tested positive 2 or 3 times as a kitten, and then when he was 2yrs old he tested negative. You can have a false positive, but NEVER a false negative. Thankfully, he is now in a good home, but I wish he would have gotten that home no matter what his FIV status was.
