Association between HHV-8 serostatus of household members and HHV-8 infection in children with both parents residing in household with evaluable HHV-8 result (N = 580)

Characteristic	No. HHV-8+/Total (%)	Adjusted OR(95% CI)*	P-value
Parent HHV-8 serostatus
Neither parent HHV-8 seropositive	39/289 (13.5%)	ref
Only mother HHV-8 seropositive	14/70 (20.0%)	1.4 (.72–2.9)	0.31
Only father HHV-8 seropositive	24/126 (19.1%)	1.2 (.67–2.2)	0.51
Both parents HHV-8 seropositive	38/95 (40.0%)	3.4 (1.9–6.1)	<.001
Number of HHV-8 seropositive household members <14 years old
0	44/334 (13.2%)	ref	χ2(2)=5.5, P=.07
1	36/148 (24.3%)	1.7 (.73–3.8)
2 or more	35/98 (35.7%)	2.5 (1.1–5.7)
Number of HHV-8 seropositive non-parental household members ≥ 14 years old
0	76/447 (17.0%)	ref	χ2(2)=2.3, P=.31
1	24/99 (24.2%)	1.4 (.83–2.5)
2 or more	15/34 (44.1%)	1.7 (.60–4.6)

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