Realissa,,



You can just do your own research on line. It is helpful to know the
science behind it, and I have now found some articles online. This is a
drug used in AIDS patients, and because the AIDS virus and FeLV are so
similar, this is why they are looking to use it for FeLV. I have attached
two scientific papers, but there are more. I only had time to find these
two – from credible sources – to share for now.



I tried to attach them, but the annoying bounce back happened. (REALLY –
please pay attention folks who host this group! This is very very
time-consuming to always get these boucebacks and my attachments WEREN’T
that large – 157 KB and 98 KB.)



Anyhow  - the titles of the articles, if anyone wants to look them up
yourselves, are:



Discovery of Drugs that Possess Activity Against Feline Leukemia Virus –
Journal of General Virology (2012), 93, 900-905 and



Evaluation of the effect of short term treatment with the integrase
inhibitor raltegravir (lsentress) on the course of progressive feline
leukemia virus infection – Vet. Microbiol. 2015 Feb 25; 175(2-4)

the lady has not responded and has not seen my messages. I am desperately
trying to get ahole of her. I don't know if it is appropriate to share her
name here on this group? So, maybe you can all help me to get ahold of her?
Her story is very inspiring
