Patterns of HHV-8 Shedding. Included participants had HHV-8 detectable by PCR on at least one day during the first 60 days of observation and were observed for a minimum of 30 days. Each row represents one participant, ordered by shedding rate from lowest to highest over the shedding session. Sixty participants with at least 30 days of observation who never shed were omitted. Time is represented on the x-axis (in days) such that each box represents the HHV-8 PCR result from a single daily swab for an individual. DNA quantity is graded by color (in log10 copies/mL). Asterisks (*) denote participants with Kaposi Sarcoma and plus signs (+) denote participants with HIV. White indicates no swab collected; other colors as per legend
