I wanted to share a post I found on facebook. This lady says that after Raltegravir, her Felv positive cat became negative. I tried to contact her on facebook to see if it's still negative.
One of my indoor cats tested positive with leukemia and her brother didn't, so she remains a mystery as to where she got it from. As a kitten she was tested and she was negative. Months later, she tested positive. The virus reached her bone marrow a year ago and she was terribly anaemic. She received a couple of synthetic blood transfusions when she was about to die, and then the doctor started her on Raltegravir (a HIV integrase inhibitor). This was, like a said, a year ago, and she's now better than ever. There's no anaemia and her Felv tests come back negative. I hope this gives other people hope and inspiration to fight for their kittens. When everyone was telling me to put her down a year ago, I just couldn't, convinced that she deserved every ounce of effort. I couldn't separate her from her brother, either. They sleep together, eat together, have the same toilet and groom each other, and in a whole year, he hasn't got infected. I tested him every 3 months and had hematology tests done, but he keeps coming back negative. I hope with all my heart they are both healthy and they stay that way.
