A member asked:
As the insertive circumsized partner in heterosexual sex, without anal or blood exposure, is my risk of contracting htlv as low/lower than hiv? (no ones tested for htlv unless theyre a blood donor or in a study?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Risk of contracting HTLV is lower than HIV if your partner is infected and risk of developing the disease is much, much lower; only 2 to 6 percent of people infected with HTLV-1 will ever develop an illness.
