The study suggested possible intravenous use but urged thorough testing before broad use, as patients and advocates weigh the early promise against the new findings.

Women Can Transmit HTLV-1 To Men In Some Cases
A Boston study shows HTLV-1 can spread from women to men, though transmission is far more common from men to women. Researchers analyzed 113 infected patients at Jamaica STD clinics and 13,000 uninfected individuals, noting women with more than 10 partners face higher risk, while men show risk linked to penile ulcers and syphilis. The work defines female-to-male transmission risk and underscores skin breaks as a transmission route.
