Kaposi ‚s sarcoma (KS) is a multifocal neoplasm that is the most common neoplasm in patients infected with HIV-1 but is also found in some HIV-negative individuals [1-3]. Human herpesvirus 8 (HHV8) is found in virtually all KS lesions irrespective of the risk group for KS, suggesting that HHV8 is a necessary viral pathogen [4-7]. Serological studies suggest that infection with HHV8 often precedes the clinical development of KS by years [8]. Furthermore, not all individuals infected with HHV8 develop KS [9-11]. There are therefore likely to be host factors in addition to infection with HHV8 that contribute to the clinical development of KS.
