HHV8 Positive Multicentric Castleman Disease occurs in immunosuppressed patients across all ethnic groups, particularly in association with HIV/AIDS. <ref name=":1" /> Immunocompetent individuals may be affected with the disease in HHV8 endemic areas such as sub-Saharan Africa and Mediterranean countries. In cases where HIV was acquired via sexual transmission, there is a strong association with the development of HHV8-positive MCD, men are predominantly affected.
