Dawn, Here is some anecdotal evidence: my kitty, Claudette and my other kitties were exposed to a positive kitty, my little Henry Lee, whose virus had activated. I had them all tested and Claudette was one of those exposed to Henry who became positive. I lost all of my positive kitties, but Claudette. She "threw off" the virus, and has tested negative ever since.
