Human herpesvirus 8 (HHV8), the etiological agent of Kaposi's sarcoma (KS), is transmitted mainly during childhood from seropositive family members, especially the mother, through saliva. The seroprevalence of HHV8 infection to a large extent reflects the distribution of KS, showing the same geograp
