## Background: Dna sequences of human herpesvirus-8 (hhv8) are found in lesions of kaposi's sarcoma (ks). ## Objectives: To verify the hypothesis of the sexual transmission of hhv8 infection. ## Methods: We used the immunoperoxidase assay to study the prevalence of serum antibodies to hhv8-rela
We studied the seroprevalence and transmission of Kaposi's sarcoma-associated herpesvirus (KSHV/HHV8), among 215 Ugandan children, adolescents and young adults. We measured antibodies to a latent nuclear antigen (LANA) and a lytic cycle protein encoded by open reading frame (orf) 65. Infection with
