HIV-associated Malignancies

HIV-associated malignancies are a group of cancers that occur more frequently in people living with HIV than in the general population. These vary depending on the region and include Hodgkin's lymphoma, non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, Kaposi's sarcoma, cervical cancer, and others. HIV-associated malignancies are important to identify because they respond differently to treatments than other cancers, and they can also be used to determine the severity of HIV-related immunosuppression. Early detection and treatment of HIV-associated malignancies is essential for improving patient health outcomes and reducing mortality.
