Melissa,
If your negative cats have been vaccinated and are 1 year or older I really
wouldn't worry aboutt them contracting felv. I have done this over ten years
and never had a problem. You may not want to mix them on a permanent basis,

adults and vaccinated, they'll most likely be fine.
In my opinion, fighting/biting is the only sure way to
