Please join the FIV cats group at http://groups.yahoo.com/group/FIVCats2/
 
Statistically, 2 out of 3 kittens born to an FIV+ mother test negative once they have been weaned and have had time to clear maternal antibodies.  In practice the kittens almost always clear antibodies within 2 or 3 months of weaning and test negative.  Don't keep testing the poor little kitten now.  Test after 6 months of age.  Most of the vets around here won't even test such a young kitten because the assumption is that the test is just not reliable.  And please do join the FIV group.  FIV is not easily transmitted and most of us in that group have had mixed positive/negative households for year.
