I rescued a 6 week old kitten who tested positive for HIV. I have done some research that states at this age test probably positive for hiv antibody but not virus. Can be tested at a later date and may be negative. My vet is not offering much hope. I have other cats. My vet states kitten can’t be around other csts however literature I have been reading states that is not true either. I need some advice on what my next steps should be.

Hello,
I know many cats living inside happily for years even with fiv. They need to be kept inside, monitored very closely for changes in weight, activity and kept ina closed stress free home and all must be spayed and neutered. I don’t worry about these cats and the rest of the household cats like I used to. I have just seen so many cats do well. And I have NEVER seen a healthy cat in these homes become fiv positive. Best of luck. Ps I’m sorry for the delay in answering.
