10th November is the World HTLV Day and we invite you to join the Sexual Health Society Queensland in its efforts to understand the implications that this sexually transmitted human oncovirus has for those affected and to raise awareness about the existence of HTLV in Australia. We are looking forward to a future where clinicians are well prepared to provide advice to people who are worried about HTLV and patients infected with HTLV are able to access professional care easily.

Time to Eradicate HTLV-1: an Open Letter to WHO
The Society has joined the call by leading Human T-Lymphotrophic Virus 1 (HTLV-1) researchers, clinicians and patients to take action on HTLV-1 by signing an open letter to the WHO, published in an abbreviated form in The Lancet. The letter calls on the WHO to support the promotion of proven, effective transmission prevention strategies for HTLV-1, in much the same way it already does for HIV, HBV and HCV.
