Enrollment and follow-up of participants in HHV-8 replication study.

Demographic, clinical and behavioral characteristics of participants.
Figure 2.
Correlation between HHV-8 detection in participant- and clinician- collected oral swabs.
The quantity of HHV-8 DNA detected in oral swabs collected at home by participants was compared to those collected in clinic by trained clinicians. R = Spearman correlation coefficient.
Figure 3.
Proportion of participants with HHV-8 detected, by anatomic site and HIV and KS status.
Percentage of participants with HHV-8 detected from oral swabs, genital swabs, or plasma samples. Participants collected a median of 29 oral swabs, 4 genital swabs, and 5 plasma samples. *p<0.05 for the comparison of the proportion of KS positive to KS negative participants with detectable HHV-8, using chi-square test.

Frequency and Quantity of HHV-8 Detection among Participants with and without HIV and KS.
Figure 4.
Rate of HHV-8 detection from oral swabs and plasma samples in individual participants, by HIV and KS status.
Participants are numbered in ascending order according to oral shedding rate in each group. The participants collected a median of 29 oral swabs, 4 genital swabs, and 5 plasma samples per person.
