DNA testing for FIV, can differentiate from vaccinated or true positive! (and it's free)

[Jennifer Phaewryn O'Gwynn]

Thanks to Marilyn Krieger from Bengal Cat Rescue fro informing me of this new test! This new, I hadn't even heard of it yet, I will have to pass this along to all the lists I'm on! I'm sure they know about it on the FIV lists, right MC? I admit I'm on no mail on FIVCATS2... This is wonderful! and it's FREE (of course, someone has to draw the blood, and buy packaging and pay the overnight shipping via Fed-Ex) http://www.vetmed.ucdavis.edu/ccah/Homesite%20Images/Diagnostic%20PCR%20Price%20Schedule.doc (you have to scroll down quite some way to the section titled FIV DNA Testing Information.)
