Please share."

I have already tried to contact her, and have not yet received a reply. If you know of someone who can take him, please PLEASE let them know.
I don't want to see him destroyed.

He has tested positive to AIDS, so will not be able to be rehomed unfortunately.

Can you catch AIDS from a cat?

Aw that's a shame sad

He looked gorgeous.
Could he be re-homed as an only indoor cat? Or is there still too much of a risk?

Here's a website which explains FIV.

Vets and pounds and RSPCA generally euthanase all strays with FIV. It's not the best thing to have, much like AIDS is not the best thing for a human.

There are plenty of healthy cats that need homes.

I rescued a stray and luckily he was not FIV and was re-homed successfully.

Keeping your cats indoors or in outdoor cat enclosures where they can't interact with strange cats is the best way to go.
