Immune Health (FIV) Test for Cats
GetTested’s **FIV Test for Cats** is a rapid at home blood test that helps detect **feline immunodeficiency virus (FIV)** antibodies in cats. FIV can weaken a cat’s immune system over time, and many cats may look healthy for years before signs become clear. Testing can be especially useful for outdoor cats, newly adopted cats or cats that may have been exposed through bite wounds. The test gives a clear result in approximately **10 minutes**, helping you quickly check whether FIV antibodies may be present.

Frequently asked questions
Why are outdoor cats at higher risk of FIV?
FIV is most commonly spread through deep bite wounds, so cats that go outdoors, fight or have contact with unknown cats may have a higher exposure risk.
Can a cat have FIV without looking sick?
Yes. Many cats with FIV can appear healthy for a long time, which is why testing can be useful for cats with unknown history or possible exposure.
Is FIV usually spread through shared bowls or grooming?
No. FIV is mainly linked to bite wound transmission and is not typically spread through casual contact, grooming or sharing food bowls.
