HTLV-1
It’s been reported as the cousin to HIV affecting remote communities in Australia, with up to 40% of some communities affected. So why don’t we know as much about HTLV-1 as its distant relative, HIV?
Michael talks with Damian Purcell, the Head of Molecular Virology Laboratory, The University of Melbourne at the Doherty Institute to unpack exactly what this virus is, how it relates to the HIV epidemic here in Australia, and what we need to consider.
We unpack the epidemiology of the virus, symptoms, what health concerns HTLV-1 has for those at risk, and the future of treatments and potential cures being researched.
