HHV8 is Kaposi sarcoma - it is a cancer that is much more common in sub-Saharan Africa than anywhere else, and is often associated with having AIDS, though you don't have to have AIDS to get it.
It's not at all likely that you'd get it in India.
Prednisone can make your immune system weaker, but when they talk about immunocompromised patients and KS, they mean things like advanced AIDS, not prednisone use.
Really, you're overthinking this. Just have your son wash his hands, etc., and maybe mask, and he'll be fine.
