Feline Immunodeficiency Virus, also called Feline AIDS Virus

Doc Pawsitive and his veterinary team diagnose multiple cats every week with FIV, or Feline Immunodeficiency Virus infection, using a simple test requiring only 2-3 drops of blood and having results in 10-15 minutes while the cat owner is still present to discuss the findings. The test also checks for Feline Leukemia Virus and for Feline Heartworm Disease infection. FIV is in the same family as HIV but is species specific and will not cross-over to people or other pets in the same household. There is also a very effective, protective vaccination against FIV and cat owners should always seek the advice of a qualified veterinary advisor experienced in the diagnosis, prevention and/or treatment of this disease. Qualified advisors will discuss cat lifestyles, disease risk factors, testing, vaccination, prevention, treatment and more during your favorite feline visit to either of our veterianry offices, East Stroudsburg Veterinary Hospital, or PAWS/Pocono Animal Wellness Services.

thanks, I wish I read this earlier, my cat just tested positive for it today, but then again he was a stray that I adopted so who knows, he may have had it for years before I took him in, poor little dude.
