We explored a possible route of transmission of Kaposi's-sarcoma-associated herpes virus (KSHV) with nested and unnested PCR techniques. We looked for KSHV DNA sequences in semen of HIV-positive homosexual men and HIV-negative healthy semen donors. With unnested primers we found KSHV sequences in 21 of 33 (64%) homosexual men and in none of 30 healthy donors. With a nested PCR assay, 30 of 33 (91%) specimens from the homosexual men and 7 of 30 (23%) specimens from healthy donors had detectable KSHV sequences. Over 5 years of follow-up, 13 of 30 KSHV-positive homosexual men (43%) developed KS compared with none of the 3 KSHV-negative homosexual men.
