- Abstract: Kaposi’s sarcoma (KS) is strongly associated with Human Herpes Virus 8 (HHV8) and Human Immunodeficiency Virus infection (HIV). It was the first malignancy to be linked with Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome (AIDS) and it is still the most commonly encountered malignancy associated with HIV. We report a case of Kaposi’s sarcoma in a homosexual man.
