African health sciences, 2011•ajol.info
Background: There is a dearth of studies on HHV8-HIV co-infections from Nigeria, even as
both infections have been shown to be endemic in Africa. This study examined the
seroprevalence and determinants of HHV8 infections in adult Nigerians with and without HIV-
infection. Methods: In 2007, a cross sectional study undertaken in a tertiary hospital in Zaria,
northern Nigeria enrolled 71 HIV-1 positive adults without Kaposi's sarcoma and 85
apparently healthy HIV-negative adult volunteers of the general population. Anti-lytic …

Abstract
Background: There is a dearth of studies on HHV8-HIV co-infections from Nigeria, even as both infections have been shown to be endemic in Africa. This study examined the seroprevalence and determinants of HHV8 infections in adult Nigerians with and without HIV-infection.
Methods: In 2007, a cross sectional study undertaken in a tertiary hospital in Zaria, northern Nigeria enrolled 71 HIV-1 positive adults without Kaposi’s sarcoma and 85 apparently healthy HIV-negative adult volunteers of the general population. Anti-lytic antibodies to HHV8 infection was determined by ELISA. A univariate analysis including age, sex, marital status,
