The long-term prognosis for FIV-infected cats is guarded, but some cats will survive for many years following diagnosis. Around 20% of affected cats die within the first two years after diagnosis; this equates to a 20% mortality rate in the first 4.5-6 years after the estimated time of infection<sup>fmc</sup>. In generally, the more chronic and severe the clinical signs, the worse the prognosis is.
