Don't worry too much about this.  I would toss old food and water bowls and 
either bleach clean or replace the litterbox.  
   
  Also, think about what a good life you gave that cat for the past two years.  
What would hre life have been had you not taken her in?  Hard as it is to lose 
someone you love, you made her life so much better.  Would you rather erase 
those two years?
   
  Give yourself some time to grieve but don't rule out another stray or special 
needs cat.  If you made that choice years ago you would not have had Satine at 
all.

    I joined this list because my kitty died on Sunday from feline lukemia she 
also had feline hiv. She was a stray I adopted two years ago, and when I first 
adopted her I tested her and she came back negative. I think she contracted it 
before I adopted her, and I have kept her up to date on all her shots. It has 
been very very hard for me. I don't know if I will ever heal. I miss having her 
around, am wondering if I can ever have another kitty. I would make sure if I 
adopted they would be negative and have all their shots and not be a stray- but 
I don't know if my apartment will be safe or if it will have the virus still 
around. How long should I wait?
