AB The prevalence and the risk factors of the human T-cell leukemia virus
type I/II (HTLV-I/II) infection were evaluated among 552 individuals at
high risk for HIV-1. HTLV infections showed a low (1.6%) prevalence,
were restricted to intravenous drug addicts and were due to HTLV-II
alone. Moreover, in order to weigh the influence of HTLV-II on the
natural history of HIV-1 infection, the clinical outcome of HIV-1
disease was compared between subjects with and without HTLV-II
coinfection. Our findings showed that HTLV-II does not adversely affect
the outcome of HIV-1 infection. Infact, a slower disease progression has
been recorded in some HTLV-II coinfected subjects.
