Hi Jason,
In our rescue group here in NC, anytime a cat tests positive we always have the
vet clinic rerun the test.
Occasionally there can be user error, either due to the way the test is run or
using the parts of the test incorrectly,
the way the kits were stored, temperature-wise or

I think that it is the old FIV vaccine that you are thinking of. It is no

Once cats were vaccinated with it they would test positive on a SNAP test.
