Any cat found positive for FIV can be considered infected (not uninfected and not vaccinated-and-uninfected.) Unfortunately, sensitivity was found to be only 81%. This means that only 4 of 5 infected cats will actually register as positive; 1 of the 5 will be a false negative.
FIV is toxic to the cat's T helper cells (CD4) which is a type of white blood cell that is crucial to the immune system. FIV dramatically affects these white blood cells of the immune system by significantly damaging or even killing them. This is what causes the feline's immune system to gradually weaken.
