FIV / feline leukemia drugs

I'm just looking for the possiblity of interest in something like this.

I work for a small pharmacutical company that is looking for other diseases, etc. to focus on (currently our main focus is cancer). I have brought up the idea of FIV/ feline leukemia as areas that we could possibly focus on and my VP told me to put together some information for him. My questions are this:

Would there be a market for drugs that don't necessarly protect from, but rather slow the progression of these diseases or even prevent transmission? How much would you as a pet owner be willing to pay for such drugs if they were avaliable?

I'd rather a company find a cure for this horrible disease. Or a safe, reliable vaccination would be great too.
