Article Synopsis
- * Human T-Cell leukemia virus type 1 (HTLV-1) significantly increases the risk of opportunistic infections and accelerates the progression to AIDS in individuals co-infected with HIV-1 compared to those infected with only one virus.
- * In Gabon, high rates of HTLV-1 and HIV-1 co-infections are alarming due to underdiagnosis and associated pathologies, posing serious hurdles for achieving HIV/AIDS elimination goals by 2030.
