Lesson Kaposi's Sarcoma (KS)

Are there any experimental treatments?

Yes, several. Over the past few years, researchers have learned a lot about KS, including the way KSHV causes lesions and the way in which lesions form. This has allowed for the development of several promising drugs, some of which are now in clinical trials.

If you would like to find out if you are eligible for any clinical trials that include new therapies for the treatment or prevention of KS, there is an interactive web site run by ACRIA, the AIDS Community Research Initiative of America. Another useful service for finding clinical trials is AIDSinfo.nih.gov, a site run by the U.S. National Institutes of Health. They have "health information specialists" you can talk to at their toll-free number at 1-800-HIV-0440 (1-800-448-0440).
