Quick answer
The HTLV Type 1 and 2 Antibody Test is a blood test that looks for antibodies against the human T-cell lymphotropic virus, a retrovirus with two main types. HTLV can be transmitted through sexual contact, blood exposure, and from a mother to a child, and most people who carry it have no symptoms. The test is used for screening and, when needed, for confirmatory testing that separates type I from type II.
What this test measures
HTLV stands for human T-cell lymphotropic virus, a retrovirus that infects a type of white blood cell. Type I and type II are closely related but distinct, and they have different patterns of occurrence around the world. Many carriers remain healthy throughout life, while a small proportion develop conditions involving the nervous system, blood, or immune system.
Screening is usually performed with an immunoassay that detects antibodies to both types together. Because screening tests can produce reactive results that do not hold up on further review, a reactive sample is normally confirmed with a more specific method such as a line immunoassay or Western blot that includes type-specific proteins. The result can then be reported as HTLV-I, HTLV-II, or negative.
People may order this test after possible exposure, as part of blood or tissue donation screening, when a partner is known to carry the virus, or during an evaluation that raises concern for HTLV-related disease. Testing is also used in some occupational and public health settings. A qualified healthcare provider should explain what a result means and discuss any follow-up.
