Kim,
The Feline Leukemia vaccine cannot give cats leukemia and it does not give
them a false positive. It doesn't affect the test at all. Some cats can test
false positive so I would think about retesting or getting a IFA Hardy test
that tells if it is in the bone marrow yet or not. Also how old is the kitten?
Young animals usually under a year can sometimes shed the virus and become
negative later in life.
I hope this helps, good luck.
