Non-AIDS Cancer Risk Higher for Those With HIV
TUESDAY, Nov. 18 — People with HIV have about twice the risk of developing a non-AIDS cancer as members of the general population, a new report says.
Men with HIV were 2.3 times more likely, while women with the virus are about 1.5 times more likely to develop these other cancers, according to a meta-analysis expected to be presented at the American Association for Cancer Research annual conference outside Washington, D.C. However, people with AIDS have similar incidence rates of these cancers as the public at large.
