Don't just get the IFA, as they are skewed towards false negatives.
ELISAs are skewed towards false positives, so if you do the IFA, it would
be to reconcile with the ELISA.

You do that yourself by clicking on the bottom link of each Felvtalk

An negative IFA does NOT negate a positive Elisa. The IFA simply means it is in
the bone marrow. Once the IFA is positive the cat will not throw off the virus.
I would keep test him again in a few months on the Elisa. If it is still
positive I would test him on the IFA.

Lorrie, I had a “light” positive on my kitten as well. He did not clear the
virus, but please don’t lose hope. There can still be a better outcome.
Beth is correct! Also, a positive ELISA test must be done no earlier than 90
days for accuracy after the first test. If it’s still positive, do an
Yes, even a positive cat can have a good life. I have 4 positives right not (in
addition to my 2 negatives). They are happy & healthy.

The snap test is an ELISA test. The IFA is sent out to a lab & costs around
$100 depending on your area & tests to see if the virus is in the bone marrow,
meaning the cat will not throw off the virus.

OK so the ELISA/SNAP is the one blood is drawn for and the IFA is the
"saliva" test right?
Thanks. That helps a lot!

Oops wait a minute I re read your email. It is the other way around isn't
it. SNAP/ELISA is the saliiva test and the IFA is the blood test for bone
marrow?

Both ELISA/SNAP and IRA use blood drawn from the cat. The saliva test is
something else entirely. I think it is supposed to test in much the same way
as the ELISA/SNAP for the same thing. I don't think there's a saliva test that

We bought beautiful new living room furniture in January and it was promptly
covered in plastic and ugly homemade (I winged it and made them out of duck
cloth) slip covers that can be washed. Once all the "pisser" have passed on,
we can uncover the furniture, but not until that happens ;)

Yeah, I understand. I dearly love the cats (all five who live indoors with
