Man are you guys twisted! I was the first person to post that KS WAS caused
by a herpes virus! I was at the press conference held by Chang and Moore here
in NYC. I posted the press release to the internet before anyone. I was the
first one to say that HHV-6 variant A was the cause of AIDS. What made you
think I changed my mind? The KSHV is a close cousin to HHV-6 and it is a
herpes virus and it is the infectious agent that is the cause for KS.
