Susceptibility to KSHV has been associated with several different genetic risk variants. The purpose of this study was to test whether variants of killer cell immunoglobulin-like receptors (KIRs) and their human leukocyte antigen (HLA-I) ligands influence the risk of KSHV infection.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title><jats:p>A case-control study was performed in Xinjiang, a KSHV-endemic region of China. We recruited 299 individuals with HIV, including 123 KSHV-seropositive persons and 176 KSHV-seronegative controls. We used logistic regression and the MiDAS package to evaluate the association between KIR\/HLA-I polymorphisms and KSHV infection.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>HLA-A*31:01, HLA-C*03:04, and HLA-C*12:03 were found to be associated with KSHV infection, with A*31:01 showing a protective effect under 3 different models (dominant: 0.30 [95% confidence interval {CI}, .08\u2013.82], P = .031; additive: 0.30 [95% CI, .09\u2013.80], P = .030; overdominant: 0.31 [95% CI, .09\u2013.88], P = .042). The effect of A*31:01 might cause the variants of amino acid at HLA-A position 56, with individuals carrying an arginine having a lower KSHV infection risk. The increased homozygous KIR2DL3 was associated with a relatively high KSHV viral load (16.30% vs 41.94%, P = .010).<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title><jats:p>This study provides further insight into the link between HLA-I alleles and KIR genes and KSHV infection, highlighting KSHV-susceptible variants of HLA-I and KSHV replication caused by specific KIR
