NIH has an AIDS reference reagent program operated by ERC Bioservices Corp. 
Tel 301-340-0245 Fax 301-340-9245.  In their 1992 catalog they describe a
HTLV-I antiserum (Cat# 1189)  produced in goats. This reagent was
contributed by Drs. Szecsi, Halgreen and Tang and is supposed to work in
Western and RIP.  Reacts mainly with p19 and gp46Env.  It also IPs Tax. 
Good luck!
