Haha I know your not a stalker :) thank you for your smart information. You are absolutely right. A lot of people in the us don't have htlv. I guess most people do that live far away and yeah I hears of hiv type 2 being different as well. You seem real smart to talk to I wish you can answer back alittle more to me. I am going through hell worrying about htlv.

HTLV-I and HTLV-II. Transmission of HTLV-I is by sexual contact, from mother to child via breastfeeding, and through exposure to contaminated blood, blood transfusion or sharing of contaminated material.HTLV 2 can be passed down from mother to child through breast milk and genetically as well from either parent. There have been few studies showing that co infection with HLV in a HIV patient may accelerate disease progression. It is also associated with higher incidence of myelopathy.

I agree with CurfewX. Do you know which type of HTLV it was? HTLV I, II or III? Latent just means in this case that the person has the virus but hasn't yet gotten the disease. If it is Type I or II then they either had it before or could potentially get it. HTLV III is the old name for HIV. If you poke your finger with a dirty needle after drawing blood from that person there is a 1 in 1000 chance of getting HIV.

its not htlv because most people with htlv are healthy in theri life

I JUST WANTED TO ASK ABOUT HIV 1,2 TESTING I HAD 2 NEGATIVE RESULTS AT 12 WEEKS EXPOSURE AND 23 WEEKS FROM LAST ENCOUNTER, BUT HAVE SYMPTOMS THAT WONT GO AWAY I WAS WONDERING WHAT IS THAT OTHER DISEASE THAT CAUSES HIV SYMPTOMS i THINK THEY CALL IT HLVT OR SOMETHING CAN SOMEONE HELP ME OUT AND HOW DO YOU TEST FOR HLVT BLOOD TEST THX PLEASE HELP SOMEBODY.

I just got my HTLV 1/2 back and it was inconclusive? My question is if I have had this for 9 months wouldn't I be definitely negative or definitely positive by now. Is it possible to already displaying myelopathy within the first few months of the disease? Am I just going crazy. I sure hope so.

I performed HIV, HIV2, HTLV-I and HTLV-II testing in the late 1990's. Surely testing methods have changed a lot since then, but the very basics of immunology have not. Way back in 1998, the generalized "panel" screen for both HIV, HTLVI&II was an antibody test...a patient's serum would be tested against an antigen-coated well plate. If the serum bound with the well, it meant there were antibodies in the serum, which indicated that person tested positive for the virus.

I was wondering with the low risk of HTLV developing into a disease, would it benefit the baby to breastfeed regardless of the chance of passing the virus to the baby?

I was working with an id doc because when i was really ill i was put on an id ward i had a follow up with him with the 15 week antibody test he run which came back negative i was that happy that it came bk neg i sort of played down my symptoms which i shouldn't of done. He noticed my swollen lymph nodes too still up. Ive emailed him but he wont receive it until the 2nd. Im also working with my gp which said next step is biopsy of lymph !

I had a multi nodule goiter. Before surgery I was on 50 mcg Levi. I was so hyper I could almost walk across ceilings. Can you have Graves' disease after thyroidectomy. Having horrible itchy skin, ear eczema and hyperpigmentation all over my skin. Damn Drs only want to run tsh. I tremor all the time and my legs are so weak. They take my Levi up and my tah goes low. Please help. Don't know where to turn. Graves on my family but no doctor will listen.

I have been told that HTLV test are not reliable. Neither the antibody test or PCR test.

Have you been tested for thyroid antibodies to make sure you do, in fact, have Graves disease and are not simply in a hyper phase of Hashimoto's? Both Graves and Hashimoto's are autoimmune. While Graves is always connected with hyperthyroidism, Hashimoto's is most often connected with hypothyroidism, however it's not uncommon for one to have periods of hyperthyroidism in the beginning stages. You should ask for thyroid antibody tests.

are HTLV-l and HTLV-ll transmitted in the same way as HIV and do htlv-l and htlv-ll cause the same immunodeficieincies as HIV?

It should be pointed out that, especially in the US literature, the term ‘hashitoxicosis’ is sometimes used to describe an autoimmune thyroid disease overlap syndrome of Graves’ and Hashimoto’s disease. In this article the term is strictly limited to the ‘leakage’ symptoms of active Hashimoto’s disease.

Hello. I'm 36 and I am almost 9 weeks pregnant. I have Graves' disease and had radiation treatment back in 2009. I hadn't been taking my thyroxine constantly for a few months as I was super stressed and now that I am pregnant haven't missed a dose. My thyroid levels are still very high and I'm worried that this will affect my baby's brain development/IQ levels. Has anyone else had similar experiences? I'm scared and worried.
