ABSTRACT
Human herpesvirus 8 (HHV-8) infection was identified in 6 out of 90 (6.7 percent) female commercial sex workers from Imbituba, Santa Catarina, and was associated to age. Frequencies of 5.6 percent of anti-latent and 3.3 percent of anti-lytic antibodies were detected. Considering non-endemic areas from Brazil, the anti-latent antibodies frequency seems elevated and requires further investigation on referent female population.
