<b >HTLV I and II antibody test</b>.&nbsp;<br />

<br />

Note that HTLV is a rare infection in the US and Europe. In the UK for example, only 1 person in 3000 carries HTLV I, and the prevalence of HTLV II is even lower.&nbsp;<br />

<br />

However, HTLV I is endemic in areas such as Florida USA, Japan, the Caribbean and South America, where the prevalence can be as high as 1 person in 100. In the US and Europe, HTLV II infection is highest among injecting drug users.&nbsp;<br />
