How old is Casey and was he vaccinated.. a vaccinated cat will test positive for FIV always unless they test for the antigen. Kittens don't have FIV..they test positive because when nursing they'd get the antibodies in the mothers milk. If Casey is a kitten I'd recommend retesting in 3 months. But they can be infected and it wont show until they are in the last stages.
