An fiv test is not accurate until a cat is around 6 months old. I wouldn't worry about it until then. Even then I wouldn't worry about it. As stated fiv is rarely transmitted between neutered/spayed cats.. if ever! I have NEVER heard of it being transmitted except through males (unneute
I am hoping for that too! I've heard sometimes there are false positives and other reasons why they test positive the first round, then negative later. [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: - Original Message -From: Gina <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>Date: Thursday, June 22, 2006 4:27 pmSubject: Re: FIV infecte

Well, 4 years ago was when it was first released, and at that time, MANY
vets were unaware that cats it was given to would always test positive for
life... also it was all hyped up at the time in all the scientific journals, so
many vets got on board during that phase.. then realized after so

The FIV vaccine is completely NOT ever recommended by anyone of authority in

Please join the FIV cats group at http://groups.yahoo.com/group/FIVCats2/ Statistically, 2 out of 3 kittens born to an FIV+ mother test negative once they have been weaned and have had time to clear maternal antibodies. In practice the kittens almost always clear antibodies within 2 or 3 month
Hi, I just posted about my FeLV positive kitten in response to your email. I'm sorry I somehow read your post as FeLV+ kitten. At any rate, I am new here, but I can speak to the subject of FIV. I had a FIV+ cat named Buddy who lived to the age of 18. He was an adult cat who tested positi
I too have a kitten who just tested a faint positive for FeLV. She is eight weeks old. I am awaiting her second test when she is sixteen weeks of age. I just recently joined this list for support and to gain knowledge about the disease. Gina [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I have been resea

Hi,
We found my cat Simba, at about the age of 5 weeks. He tested
positive for FIV. We had him retested at approx 6 mos & he was still
positive. It is true that FIV tests of young kittens may only be picking
up maternal antibodies, so it would be a good idea to retest the little guy

I am not sure about FIV; I'm more up-to-date on FeLV,
which is different. I do know that cats with FIV can
live a long time with it. Once FIV kicks in though,
it's not a good thing. I don't know how FIV is
spread, but for now I think it would be wise to keep
the two cats separated until you know
