One of my older cats was just diagnosed with what I hope is a very early stage of feline HiV and diabetes. Has been a inside cat almost his entire life so no idea where this came from but going to start treatment as soon as possible. Has any one else gone through this, any advice?

FIV will make him more susceptible to infection, and with his diabetes, he will be at a higher risk of urinary tract infections and possibly kidney infections. FIV will make it more likely he will develop cancer. For the most part, it is just watching his behavior and activity and catching changes in eating and activity and taking him to the vet sooner than normal.

The normal testing for FIV tests for antibody - I assume he has been confirmed positive via another mehod as well?
