HTLV 1 incidence?
what is the incidence of HTLV 1 and the incidents of subsequent lymphoma/leukemia development? I wonder why there isnt more public awareness of this issue.

HTLV 1 is endemic and very common in certain areas of the Caribbean and also in Southern Japan. There is also an increased number of T cell lymphomas in these same areas. In the US if you go to the red Cross to get tested for HTLV-1 one of the questions they will ask you is whether you live, used to live or have visited the Caribbean.
