Among human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-positive men, exposure to ultraviolet (UV) radiation may increase the risk for developing Kaposi sarcoma, according to a new study. Previous research established UV radiation as an inducer of herpes simplex virus reactivation and as the primary risk factor for various dermatologic malignancies. But its relationship with human herpes virus 8 (HHV8) infection or risk of Kaposi sarcoma remains unclear. [Source: Cancer Therapy Advisor]
