Human T-lymphotropic virus. The human T-lymphotropic virus or human T-cell lymphotropic virus (HTLV) family of viruses are a group of human retroviruses that are known to cause a type of cancer called adult T-cell leukemia/lymphoma and a demyelinating disease called HTLV-I associated myelopathy/tropical spastic paraparesis (HAM/TSP).
Persons found to be seropositive for HTLV-I/II according to the USPHS criteria and positive for HTLV-I by additional testing should be informed that they are infected with HTLV-I. They should be told that HTLV-I is not the AIDS virus, that it does not cause AIDS, and that AIDS is caused by a different virus called HIV.hey are different from the human immunodeficiency viruses that cause acquired immunodeficiency syndrome. Screening of the U.S. blood supply for HTLV-I/II, which began in 1988, identifies HTLV-I- and HTLV-II-infected persons who should be counseled regarding their infections.
