Hi Chelsea, If the kitty's immune system is strong enough it can fight off the virus, that is why we look for immune boosters to give to them as well as the best food we can find/afford. I believe there have been studies that show something like a third of the cats exposed will be able to fight it off, a third will not get it at all, and the last third will contract it without being able to throw it off.
Something you can try for Samantha's teeth and gums is giving her C0Q10 - I think I remember my vet saying 30mg a day. You can get it in gel caps and just squirt it on her food. It may also help you - you can take anywhere from 30mg/day up to 100mg/day depending on the severity of the problem.
