It is a blood sample. The vet will screen the blood, searching for exposure to the virus Equine Infectious Anemia. If it is detected, it is usually fatal and your horse must not be exposed to the public or others horses because it is extremely contagioius.

Horses cannot carry the human version of HIV, but they can contract an equine version known as Equine Infectious Anemia (EIA). It is transmitted through insect bites from an infected horse or through contaminated needles. EIA cannot be transmitted to humans and when a horse is found to have EIA it must either be permanently quarantined inside or euthanized to prevent spread of the disease.
Yes, its both a National as well as an International law. Some states require it to be current within 6 months, some within 12 months. Coggins Test is for identifying EIA (equine infectious anemia).
Coggins is not actually a disease. Coggins is the name of a blood test that detects whether a horse (or other equine such as donkeys and mules) has a virus called Equine Infectious Anemia, (EIA).

Symptoms of EIA include:High fever (105 - 108 degrees)Weakness and lethargyRefuses foodWeight lossIrregular heartbeatSwelling in the chest, stomach or legs.
