Assessment of Awareness and Knowledge Regarding Human T‐Lymphotropic Virus Type 1 (HTLV‐1) Among Healthcare Workers at Imam Khomeini Hospital Complex, Tehran, in 2023–2024, A Cross‐Sectional Descriptive‐Analytical Study

The study highlights a notable gap in knowledge about HTLV-1 among healthcare professionals at Imam Khomeini Hospital Complex, despite relatively positive attitudes. Significant differences in knowledge were observed across age groups, with the 26-35 age group demonstrating better awareness. These findings underscore the need for targeted educational programs to improve HTLV-1 knowledge, particularly among younger and less experienced staff, to enhance preventive and diagnostic capabilities.
