Let’s eradicate HTLV-1 together!
How can we do this?

Time to eradicate HTLV-1: an open letter to WHO, by Global Virus Network (GVN) Scientists & Activists 

HTLV clinics: assessment, treatment & follow up care
  • HTLV positive individuals need follow up care
  • Assessed for HTLV-1 associated diseases (examination & blood tests)
  • Treatment where needed
  • Support for the individuals & families

Ongoing expansion of HTLV-1 testing
  • Sexual health clinics: to support HTLV carriers & promote safe sex
  • Antenatal testing to help HTLV positive mothers & to advise mothers against breastfeeding
  • Organ donors: to exclude HTLV-1 positive donations
  • People who inject drugs:  to support HTLV carriers,  promote safe sex & safe injecting

Swift turnaround of HTLV testing & results (serology & viral load)
  • Faster time to disease assessment & identification
  • Treatment provided as early as possible, if required

HTLV Education: Increase awareness & knowledge
  • Access to up-to-date & evidence-based WHO HTLV-1 Fact Sheet & web-page will allow health care providers to diagnose HTLV-1 & its diseases more often and in a timely fashion
  • ​Wider access to HTLV information & resources for patients, families & the wider population
