Association between HHV-8 serostatus of household members and HHV-8 infection in children with at least one parent residing in household with evaluable HHV-8 result (N = 1042)

Characteristic	No. HHV-8+/Total (%)	Adjusted OR(95% CI)*	P-value
Number of HHV-8 seropositive parents
0	102/572 (17.8%)	ref	χ2(2)=19.9, P<.001
1	118/375 (31.5%)	1.8 (1.3–2.5)
2	38/95 (40.0%)	2.5 (1.5–4.1)
Number of HHV-8 seropositive household members <14 years old
0	91/574 (15.9%)	ref	χ2(2)=19.6, P<.001
1	74/263 (28.1%)	1.8 (1.02–3.2)
2 or more	93/205 (45.4%)	3.1 (1.8–5.3)
Number of HHV-8 seropositive non-parental household members ≥ 14 years old
0	159/768 (20.7%)	ref	χ2(2)=4.9, P=.08
1	56/188 (29.8%)	1.4 (.91–2.0)
2 or more	43/86 (50.0%)	2.0 (1.0–3.9)

NOTE. ^*Adjusted OR (95% CI) and P value reflects results of final model adjusting for all other variables in column and child's age.
