Above: The Fox Hole Radio built with a WWII-era âbluedâ razor blade and pencil lead for the detector. Note the bamboo coil form and the paper clip attached to a cork used to slide along the coil turns to tune the radio. The orange wire goes to the antenna, the black wire to ground.
FIV is diagnosed with a âsnapâ test, usually in combination with the Felv test. A positive FIV test almost always indicates active infection. The exception is young kittens born to an FIV positive queen. Young kittens possess antibodies to FIV from mom, but may not actually have the disease. So, if you have an FIV positive kitten, before panicking, have the kitten retested at 6 months of age.
My cat has been diagnosed with FIV, has he got feline AIDS? A positive FIV test simply means the cat has been infected with feline immunodeficiency virus (FIV). Being infected with FIV is not the same as having feline AIDS (acquired immune deficiency syndrome). Feline AIDS (FAIDS) describes the terminal stages of disease associated with FIV infection that may not occur for many years, and does not invariably develop in all infected cats.
