My boy was fiv+ and he lasted 15 years after contracting it at age 9. He didn't get sick often and when he was younger he could go years without any issues but as he got older he developed kidney/liver issues and food sensitivity to even the best dry/wet foods. In the end he only ate tuna and boiled chicken breast. Every animal is going to be different and you just have to deal with things as they come up.
