...and there is a lot of controversy about if it really does help prevent

Right, the FIV vac makes them test positive for FIV. And once their
neutered they are not going to fight and give deep bite wounds so no
danger of transmitting. Worthless vaccination just makes money for the
company and the vet.

I have always heard not to vaccinate for FIV, only FelV.
Not only is the FIV vaccination questionable, but the cat will
forever test positive for FIV just because of the vaccination.

Again, a large number of the people posting on this site MIX positives
and negatives with the following caveat:
1. Negatives MUST be fully vaccinated incl: FIV and FeLV
2. After initial vaccination in negative adults there should be a
waiting period before mixing. I think it is 1 month or so but others
can confirm the correct incubation for the disease.
3. After initial AND boosters for younger cats/kittens I wait until
the younger cat is 2 - 3 months past the final vaccination and or at
least 6 - 7 months old before mixing.
4. I vaccinate the positive cats for all BUT FeLV and FIV (whichever
they are positive for)
