Kaposi sarcoma is caused by a herpes virus -- human herpesvirus 8 (HHV-8). This virus may be transmitted by kissing. Among gay men infected with HHV-8 but without Kaposi sarcoma, the virus was found in one study in 30 per cent of saliva samples and mouth swabs compared to only 1 per cent of anal and genital samples and, when present, the levels of the virus were much higher in saliva than in semen. Gay men who engage in “deep kissing” -- kissing that involve much contact with saliva -- thus seem to be at higher risk of catching the virus and developing Kaposi sarcoma.
