Background: The screening for HTLV 1-2 in blood banks is mandatory in Peru because of its endemicity, therefore they are an important source of case detection. This policy has contributed to the characterization of its prevalence through years and to diminish it. Objective: To determine the seroprevalence of HTLV 1-2 in blood donors in two blood banks during 2018-2021 and to describe the sociodemographic characteristics and personal history of seropositive donors Methods and Materials: This was an observational, descriptive and retrospective study in two blood banks in Cajamarca (HRC) and Lima (HCFAP), Peru, during 2018-2021. The seroprevalence was determined and data from donor selection questionnaire was used to describe the sociodemographic characteristics and personal history of those HTLV-1/2 seropositive donors. Results: The prevalence of HTLV 1-2 in HRC was 4 per thousand, donors were mostly women and median age was 29, also 20% had previously donated. The prevalence in HCFAP was 5 per thousand, donors were mostly men with a median age of 39,5 years, also 39% had previously donated. In both institutions, HIV was the most prevalent co-infection. Conclusion: The found seroprevalence matches with previous studies and it tends to diminish and shows an increment with age. The high percentage of previous donations reflects the difficulty in the process of confirmation, notification and reference to Infectology services on those seropositive donors.
