HTLV is a type of virus which affects the white blood cells. full form of HTLV is human T cell lymphotropic virus. it generally causes cancer of white blood cells.
so my advice for you is to please consult a Oncologist at a nearby centre and take appropriate preventive measures suggested by him.
all the best and hope i have cleared your doubt
