Any cat found positive for FIV can be considered infected (not uninfected and not vaccinated-and-uninfected.) Unfortunately, sensitivity was found to be only 81%. This means that only 4 of 5 infected cats will actually register as positive; 1 of the 5 will be a false negative.
Vaccines to help protect against FIV infection are now available. However, not all vaccinated cats will be protected by the vaccine, so preventing exposure will remain important, even for vaccinated pets. In addition, vaccination may have an impact on future FIV test results.
