What Does FIV Stand For?
FIV stands for Feline Immunodeficiency Virus
FIV, or Feline Immunodeficiency Virus, is a viral infection that affects domestic cats and is similar to human HIV. It primarily weakens the cat's immune system, making it more susceptible to various infections and diseases. FIV is transmitted through bite wounds, and while there is no cure, management strategies can help improve the quality of life for infected cats. Regular veterinary care and preventive measures are essential for maintaining the health of FIV-positive felines.
