  1. Abstract:

    Kaposi Sarcoma (KS) continues to cause substantial morbidity and mortality in populations at risk in the southern US. Utilizing biospecimens from the Houston site of the Young Men's Affiliate Project, 351 men who have sex with men had blood tested for Kaposi Sarcoma-associated herpesvirus (KSHV) IgG. Measuring seroprevalence, seroconversion between timepoints, and demographic and clinical correlates, KSHV prevalence was 36.7% and incidence was 8.9 per 100 person-years, prevalence and incidence were higher among Black individuals, people living with HIV, and those with a history of syphilis. Further research on KSHV risk may improve health disparities in KS diagnosis and outcomes. © The Author(s) 2023.
