Abstract | Human T-lymphotropic virus type 1 (HTLV-1) is a retrovirus associated with substantial risk of secondary (often life-threatening) disease for the estimated 10 million to 20 million people infected globally. Despite a clear need, no HTLV-1-specific vaccine or antiretroviral therapy has been developed to date. Instead, existing public and primary health-care interventions inadequately focus on infection prevention and management of secondary diseases. In this Personal View, we discuss the evidence that exists to support the sensitivity of HTLV-1 to antiretroviral therapies approved by the US Food and Drug Administration for the treatment of HIV-1, how this sensitivity is affected by clinically relevant virological and immunological features, and additional practical considerations for the use of antiretroviral therapies in the context of HTLV-1. |
