A member asked:
Can a person have symptoms from htlv 1 , if there are no antibodies present in antibodies test ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not likely: HTLV disease has a long incubation period, and a symptomatic person would have antibodies. 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.
