How Is HTLV 1 Spread?

Hi! I have the htlv1 virus, which I got from my ex husband. He recently passed away from a series of ailments, some of which were brought on by the htlv1 virus. I recently had a very unusual sudden and extremely painful Achilles tendon swelling. I'm worried that my mom symptomatic htlv1 virus may be causing me to suffer from thrombosis. Do you think this is a possibility?
