The HSV-8 virus causes Herpes Simplex 8.
HSV-8 is associated with Kaposi's sarcoma, a cancer which can manifest in people who are immunocompromised (weakened immune system due to heavy steroid use, HIV/AIDs, or other conditions). Kaposi's sarcoma usually stays under control of the immune system unless something else is weakening the immune system. HSV-8 can manifest the same as HSV-2 as to be nearly indistinguishable. It is thought that HSV-8 is more prevalent in areas such as Southeast Asia and India and centered in populations of those who are involved in prostitution or use of the services of prostitutes, among men who have sex with other men, and certain other populations.
HSV-8 is a gammaherpesvirunae. It targets endothelial cells of the skin. Less is known about HSV-8 than the more common strains. It is thought to be transmitted through the exchange of body fluids, such as in unprotected sexual intercourse, particularly where skin is rubbed raw or blood can be transmitted (this is especially true with unprotected anal intercourse).

Is shingles and herpes are same?
Herpes is a family if viruses that cause different diseases. Herpes simplex I is associated with cold sores, herpes simplex II is associated with genital herpes (although those two can be reversed), CMV and EBV can cause mononucleosis and colds and congenital infections in babies as well as cancers, roseolovirus can cause roseola, human herpes virus 8 causes Kaposi's sarcoma and other cancers. The herpes varicella-zoster virus causes chicken pox (varicella). It lies dormant in nerve cells and years later it can reactivate to cause shingles (zoster). So shingles is one example of a herpes virus infection.
What virus causes kaposis sarcoma?
Kaposis Sarcoma is a tumor that is cancerous and attacks connective tissues. The virus is often associated with AIDS. It is caused by a disease called Human herpesvirus 8 commonly known as HHV8.
How do you detect kaposis sarcoma?
It is a systemic disease presenting with cutaneous skin nodule due to Human Herpes Virus 8 infection and is now more frequently seen in patients with Aids. Diagnosis is usually made and confirmed by tissue biopsy.
If a girl has a cold sore does that mean she has herpes and are they contagious?
Cold sores are "Herpes Simplex Virus 1" which are highly contagious. People with HSV1 are the leading cause for new outbreaks of HSV2. (below the waist). The herpes virus can live for up to 8 minutes of the body. Don't eat or drink after the infected person. When there is no sore you cannot contract it. Canker sores are not a HSV but sores brought on by eating things very high in acid. Like lemons and pineapple. Hopes this helps.

What are the features that are common in viral infections that lead to cancer?
In order to promote carcinogenesis multiple factors must be orchestrated. The alteration of the cellular genome after a carcinogenic exposure may result in malignancy if apoptosis is prevented and the immune surveillance fails to eliminate the transformed cell. Infectious agents may exert these properties and transform a host cell. Viruses associated with human cancer are known as 'tumor viruses'. Most of them are capable of integrating into the host genome and have the ability to immortalize the target cell in order to allow their own replication. The infected cell expresses the viral genes, which are able to induce cell growth, proliferation and prevent apoptosis. This review focuses on Epstein-Barr virus, human papilloma virus, hepatitis C virus, hepatitis B virus, human herpes virus 8 and human T-cell leukemia virus, since they have been already established as causative agents of human cancer. An understanding of the viral replication mechanism may provide new targets for the development of specified viral therapy that may have an impact not only on viral infections but in human cancer as well.
