Your dog will still test positive up to two years after the process.
The treatment sterilizes the adult heartworms preventing them from reproducing the larva and the ivermectin or other preventative keeps the dog from becoming reinfected. Adult heartworms have a life span and die at different intervals thus the lag in testing negative.
