Who diagnosed your Ks? If it was a doc then surely if the hiv test was neg hell probably do a VL test to make sure. If you have HIV the VL test will be positive. speically if you have an oppportunistic infection. Ohterwise, if it wasnt a docotor who told you dont adume anything until you get checked.

There are people who get KS who don't have HIV, especially gay men. They think there is a virus that causes it. So don't panic. But I would get another antibody test. If it's negative, get a viral load. Good luck.
