My cat has FeLV and FIV. Will he suffer much pain as he declines?

Question

We had a male cat show up, skin and bones, and adopted him, fed him extra food for awhile, and then tested him for feline leukemia and HIV- both positive. As he gets worse, will he be in a lot of pain? Pet's info: Cat | Asian Semi-longhair | Male | unneutered | 6 lbs

Aspects of these disease can be painful, such as stomatitis (severe, painful inflammation of a cat's mouth and gums) that is caused by FIV, but Bones's symptoms can be managed symptomatically by his vet. With these cases, it's very important to have him seen by his vet whenever there is an issue.
