Although I have lucked out with all of the cats I have fostered and adopted over the years, and none were found to be FIV positive, it is a very real concern when dealing with strays and ferals/semi-ferals. Most people don't really understand what FIV is though, and given it's close association with HIV, there is a very definite and misplaced fear of FIV cats.
This link was shared by C4P on Facebook some time back, and I think it's important enough to share here as well. Not only is it a fantastic explanation of FIV, but it's a realistic one.
