Dear Janet,
I got SV40 from Salk vaccine in New Zealand in 1961 .
My mother was one of 3 who got full-blown polio in N.Z. - it had
penicillin in it too, so she was already hospitalised from that when
the polio hit.

Salk later admitted it was faulty and contained the retrovirus.
 Presume that would be the most likely way you'd contract such a
virus.
Judith.

  Dear Judith and Everyone,
  Does anyone know if there are other ways to get retroviruses or are
vaccinations the only way.
  Thank You,
  Janet

    And where would you get retroviruses from ? - Why the nice little
vaccinations you had as a child - isn't that lovely!  Something to
really look forward to!

      Retroviruses Implicated In The Pathogenesis Of Schizophrenia

      WESTPORT (Reuters Health) - Retroviruses may play a role in the
      development of schizophrenia in some individuals, scientists
from
      the US and Germany report in the April 10th issue of Proceedings
      of the National Academy of Sciences.

        Here's some more on the subject.
        Problem is, if it is caused by a virus like herpes simplex and
sets up shop
        in the nerve cells, then cs alone cannot completely kill it.
