FIV can't be passed from the cat to a person. It's not possible.  Just as a human can't infect a cat with HIV. These viruses are specific to the species and not able to infect outside of that species. However, FIV is highly contagious toward other cats so hopefully you don't have any other non-infected cats living with you nor do you allow your cat out to roam the neighborhood to infect other neighborhood cats.
