Answer:

Currently there is no proof that humans can be infected with FeLV, but those with suppressed immune systems should refrain from contact with infected cats. This includes those on AIDS therapy, pregnant women, infants, and the elderly.

Answer:

If FeLV had ever been detected in human blood, it would be international news. It is a fiction that humans can contract it, much less have major health complication and die from it. THere are "germaphobes" who prefer that all FeLV+ be euthanized... a tragedy since these cats can live for years.
