The AIDS epidemic drew attention to KS, a previously rare and little studied condition. The epidemiological evidence summarized here strongly suggests that the disease is caused by a transmissible agent, in addition to HIV. Sexual contact is the most important mode of transmission of the agent, although transmission by blood and perinatally may also occur (Beral et al, 1990).
艾滋病的流行使人们关注到卡波西肉瘤，这是一种以前罕见且研究较少的疾病。此处总结的流行病学证据有力地表明，除了艾滋病毒外，该疾病是由一种可传播的病原体引起的。性接触是该病原体最重要的传播方式，不过通过血液和母婴传播也可能发生（贝拉尔等人，1990年）。
