“…Epidemiologic data -particularly the high prevalence in homosexuals, and reports of cases of KS in homosexuals who were non-HIV antibody-positive after 8 to 10 years -suggests that KS in HIV disease may be associated with a transmissible agent other than HIV (63)(64)(65)(66)(67). HCMV is one candidate but it may be only an opportunistic infection within the KS tissue; a mycoplasma or other agent may be responsible (68)(69). HCMV can be latent in endotheliutn even in non-HIV-infected persons and may thus be an incidental fmding in the tumours (4, 5),…”
