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.
In the United States, approximately 1.5 to 3 percent of healthy cats are infected with FIV. Bite wounds are the primary means of transmission for FIV. Cats with FIV often have poor coat condition and persistent fever with a loss of appetite. A veterinarian will draw a blood sample for a test to detect the presence of antibodies in the blood.
