title = "Human T-cell lymphotropic virus type 1 exposures following blood-borne virus incidents in Central Australia, 2002-2012",
abstract = "We retrospectively audited hospital occupational exposure events over a 10-year period, in a human T-cell lymphotropic virus type 1 (HTLV-1)-endemic area of Central Australia, and report on 53 individuals exposed to HTLV-1 with no transmissions documented (95% confidence interval, 0%-1.5%). This has important implications for the management of exposures including the role of postexposure prophylaxis. ",
