They are good tests and false negatives are very rare.  However, there is still a significant percentage of false positives.  If a cat tests positive, you will definitely want to confirm that with an IFA test.

Subject: Idexx Snap Combo test

Hi all I just brought home my second fiv+ beautiful boy and I was wondering if anyone here has heard of the Idexx Snap test,Jen the lady that runs the shelters says that is the best.I asked her to test both guys before I officially adopt.If they have felv I would probably just keep fostering them.I cannot go through financially what I did with my beautiful Maizee again.I want them tested because they were free roaming amongst felv+ cats too.she said because the healthy adult cats it shouldn't spread to them,but she offered to test them for me.Which I will do. I asked her about the Elisa test and she said the other was the gold star of them.Just wanted the opinions here.Thanks.
Sherry
