Age-dependent human herpesvirus 8 (HHV-8) seroprevalence rates for 745 persons in southern Siberia 25–98 years of age who lived in the Ust Orda, Ulan Ude, or Chita districts during 1995. Seropositivity was based on strict criteria; only samples showing punctuate nuclear staining clearly reactive at a dilution >1:160 were considered HHV-8 positive. All 187 HHV-8–seropositive samples were tested for antibodies directed against HIV-1/2 by using Genscreen HIV-1/2 Antibody Assay (Bio-Rad Laboratories, Marnes-la-Coquette, France); only 2 were seropositive. Error bars indicate 95% confidence intervals.
