What is the window period for htlv1 antibody test ? is it possible for a person to not develop antibodies at 4 months post exposure ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: Blood banks defer people with potential exposure for one year. To be sure repeat the test at one year after exposure. For good health - Have a diet rich in fresh vegetables, fruits, whole grains, milk and milk products, nuts, beans, legumes, lentils and small amounts of lean meats. Avoid saturated fats. Drink enough water daily, so that your urine is mostly colorless. Exercise at least 150 minutes/week and increase the intensity of exercise gradually. Do not use tobacco, alcohol, weed or street drugs in any form. Practice safe sex, if you have sex.
