Hey I'm Human T-cell Lymphotrophic Virus. I am also a retrovirus. I'm so retro!
I transmit through blood, sexual contact and child birth. I also target CD4 cells. I make people more likely to get certain diseases.
I can cause leukemia. I can get into your spinal cord. There I cause myelopathy or even tropical spastic paraparesis. I also get into skin, joints, lungs and eyes.
My name is Human immunodeficiency virus. I am a Retrovirus. I'm very retro. I have 2 types.
I make up the majority of HIV in the world. I'm mostly found in Africa. I lead to a disease called AIDS. I travel through sexual contact, needles, blood and from mother to baby. I get into CD4+ immune cells. They make my copies for me.
I start with a flu like illness. Then I lay low for many years. Then the illness becomes AIDS.
Hey there. Call me Human Papilloma Virus Type 2. I'm from the Papillomaviridae family.
I'm a warts virus like my cousin HPV-1. I'm one of the types that cause common warts. They are on your skin. I get in through cuts and scrapes, like when you fall down.
People used to think that toads caused warts. But it was me.
Hey folks. My name is Hepatitis D virus. I'm also called Hepatitis Delta.
I can't get you on my own, I need my friend HBV. We have a "co-infection". I can get into you at the same time as my cousin. Or I can visit people who already have him.
