About the HTLV Type 1&2 Antibody Test: Human T-Cell Lymphotropic Virus
An HTLV antibody test checks the blood for antibodies against human T-cell lymphotropic virus types I and II. It detects and differentiates between antibodies to the two virus types. The test is used to assess whether a person may have been exposed to HTLV-I or HTLV-II. People may order it after a possible exposure or when a healthcare provider recommends screening based on risk factors.

Understanding your results
A negative HTLV antibody result generally means antibodies to HTLV-I and HTLV-II were not detected. A reactive result suggests possible exposure to one of the viruses and usually leads to additional testing to confirm and distinguish the type. Because antibodies take time to develop, an early test after exposure may be negative. A healthcare provider interprets the result with your history. Discuss your HTLV antibody results with a healthcare provider before making any decisions.
