That's great! I never heard of a cat throwing FIV, but I have heard of high  
rates of false positives on FIV tests. Was it confirmed by an IFA or DNA test? 
 If it was an in-house snap test, I would guess she was never actually 
positive  and the test result was wrong. Either way, good news! knock on wood!

Hi  Everyone, 

I don't post much but have a serious question  re Interferon.  Kitty tested 
positive for FeLV/FIV at nine months  old.  She has had daily Interferon for 
the past 3+ months.  Now that  she has tested negative for both diseases, what 
experience has anyone else had  and vet recommendations for tapering off the 
IFN?  
I thought once  kitties were FIV+ that disease did not disappear but the 
FeLV+ sometimes is  fought off (30%).  
This sweet girl can be adopted out once she is off  the interferon.
