| human leukocyte antigen (HLA) |
A group of molecules found on the surface of almost every cell in the body. Human leukocyte antigens (HLAs) present protein fragments (peptides) to immune cells. If the cells recognize the peptides as foreign, the body mounts an immune response. Some diseases and drug reactions are linked to certain types of HLAs. |

| human papillomavirus (HPV) |
The virus that causes human papillomavirus (HPV) infection, the most common sexually transmitted infection. There are two groups of HPV— types that can cause genital warts and types that can cause cancer. HPV is the most frequent cause of cervical cancer. In women with HIV, invasive cervical cancer is an AIDS-defining condition. |

| human T-cell lymphotropic virus type (HTLV-I) |
I A retrovirus that infects only T lymphocytes (T cells) Human T cell lymphotropic virus type 1 (HTLV-1) is transmitted through exposure to contaminated blood, through sexual contact, and from an infected mother to her child at birth or through breastfeeding via breast milk. HTLV-1 is prevalent mostly in Japan, Africa, the Caribbean Islands, and South America. HTLV-1 can cause adult T-cell leukemia/lymphoma, a rare and aggressive cancer of the white blood cells. |
