Abstract:
We present a case of a possible sexual transmission of classic Kaposi's sarcoma. To our knowledge, this is the first report of such a case. We noted a long delay between the probable contaminant contact and onset of lesions, suggesting that human herpesvirus 8 has longer incubation periods in healthy individuals than in immunocompromised patients.
