-FIV not transmittable to humans or dogs
-FIV+ cats can live with other FIV- cats in a cat-stable household
-FIV is transmitted through saliva in deep bite wounds, not shared food/water dishes or litter boxes
-FIV+ cats can live normal lives in a clean, quiet household
-FIV virus is easily killed with soap and water
-FIV+ cats should have yearly vet checks and monitored for any changes in health
-FIV should not be confused with Feline Leukemia, which is a serious diagnosis
