Abstract

A prospective anonymous study of HTLV-I and HTLV-II seroprevalence among 23,078 pregnant women in most of the cities in the United Kingdom was conducted. It was concluded that the seroprevalence of HTLV-I and HTLV-II in Western Europe is 6-fold higher among pregnant women than among blood donors.

Abstract

Research has been conducted on HTLV infection and its association with HIV and other risk factors. Results demonstrate that the association between HTLV-1 and HIV-2 for men and women was different and that that common sexual risk factors cannot explain the co-occurrence of HIV-2 and HTLV-1 in women.

Abstract

About 4% of the population of Guinea-Bissau have HTLV-1 infection, which is a higher rate than the rate in other countries in West Africa. The rate was twice as high in women as in men and also increased with age. Blood transfusion, HIV infection, and multiple sexual partners were risk factors for HTLV-1 infection.

Abstract

The incidence and prevalence of HIV-2 infection in Guinea-Bissau was high between 1990 and 1992, while the incidence of HIV-1 was high but its prevalence was low. Incidence indicates the percentage of new cases over time while prevalence indicates the percentage of cases at a particular time. Researchers studied the incidence and prevalence of HIV-1, HIV-2, human T-lymphotropic virus type (HTLV) I/II, and syphilitic infection among 1,384 police officers in Guinea-Bissau. The prevalence of HIV-1 was 0.4%, of HIV-2 was 11.6%, and of HTLV I/II was 4.4%. HIV-2 was more common among women than men. The incidence of HIV-2 was 1.6 new cases per 100 person-years, while that of HIV-1 was 0.7 new cases per 100 person-years. The discrepancy between incidence and prevalence of HIV-1 infection indicates a rise in the spread of the infection. HIV-2 infections were associated with HTLV-I/II infections. Death rates were significantly higher among HIV-2 infected officers than among HIV negative officers.
