Effects of Antiretroviral Therapy on Kaposi’s Sarcoma–Associated Herpesvirus (KSHV) Transmission Among HIV-Infected Zambian Children

Abstract

Our data suggest that early ART and prevention of immune suppression reduce the risk of KSHV acquisition among HIV-infected children in an area where both viruses are highly endemic. This study highlights the importance of programs in Africa to provide children with ART immediately after HIV infection is diagnosed.
