Important Notes
This is a screening diagnostic test and results should be interpreted by a veterinarian together with the cat's clinical history and other diagnostic findings.
FIV antibody detection can be affected by previous FIV vaccination. BIONOTE notes that vaccination history should be considered, particularly in young cats that have received recent FIV vaccination.
