First I would find a supportive vet. Seriously, that's the first order of business.
If he was tested twice within a month, that is really too soon to tell anything. It is recommended to wait 6 months between tests, I believe. That gives them time to throw off the virus if they are going to.
Yes, he could still throw the virus off. They can also sequester it in the bone marrow or the central nervous system (reference

This is a great list. I'm glad you found it.

I was directed to this list. I am driving my vets
nuts with questions, and they are a bit less than
supportive.
We do rescue work. Last mo. one of our members helped
a lady with a mess of cats. There was FeLV in some of
the older cats. She pulled out a mom cat and 4
kittens. All tested negative except little Ki. I
noticed his lymph nodes were swollen in his neck.
That is when he tested a weak positive.
He has been fine since: eating like a horse, gaining
appro. weight, and has a shiny coat. He loves to
play.
Question. Where do we go from here? Could he
sero-convert? (vet says no, because he has had 2 weak
positive tests. He says Ki is vioremic I asked about
the IFA, and he said it was a waste of time.)
I really want to help this kitten...I have really
grown to care for him I just don't know how
contageous he is, and i have a lot of cats. What else
can i do? He is not on any meds at all.( He is in a
room by himself at this time)
Thanks for any advice,
Dede
