We are pleased to report on the inaugural HTLV-1 symposium at the 2017 Australasian HIV and AIDS Conference joint with 2017 Australasian Sexual Health Conference in Canberra, Australia. Our understanding of HTLV-1 epidemiology, pathogenesis, laboratory diagnostics and treatment options for HTLV-1 diseases has advanced tremendously over the last 40 years. However, the awareness of healthcare providers and the general population about HTLV-1, and the effective promotion and implementation of HTLV-1 transmission-prevention strategies, lag behind current knowledge. Here we present a summary of the symposium, plenary and poster presentations on HTLV-1.
我们很高兴在此汇报2017年在澳大利亚堪培拉举行的澳大拉西亚HIV与艾滋病大会暨2017年澳大拉西亚性健康大会联合举办的首届HTLV-1研讨会情况。在过去40年里,我们对HTLV-1流行病学、发病机制、实验室诊断以及HTLV-1相关疾病的治疗选择的认识有了极大进展。然而,医疗服务提供者和普通大众对HTLV-1的认知,以及HTLV-1传播预防策略的有效推广与实施,却落后于当前的知识水平。在此,我们对关于HTLV-1的研讨会、全会及海报展示内容进行总结。
