Reduced cancer survival among adults with HIV and AIDS-defining illnesses despite no difference in cancer stage at diagnosis.
A cohort of persons with HIV (PWH) who had AIDS-defining illness (ADI) at the time of cancer diagnosis were compared to those without HIV and ADI with cancer diagnosis at the same stages. Those with ADI had a higher mortality rate (30-70%) with lung cancer statistically significant. This finding is related with HIV-related immune suppression.
