HIV-related cancers: causes and risk factors
Part of Blood & lymphatic, Cancer, Digestive system, Immune system & allergy, Infections, Mouth & dental, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study tracks how HIV-related cancers like Kaposi sarcoma or lymphoma develop over time, and what factors increase risk. It looks at people with HIV who have or haven't had these cancers to understand better who gets them and why.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study collects blood and tissue samples to help researchers learn more about cancers related to HIV/AIDS. You may be able to join if you’re 18+ and have HIV and a cancer diagnosis, or (if HIV-negative) a certain cancer that is closely linked to AIDS-related cancers.
This study looks at a program to help people living with HIV take on cancer-fighting roles (like caregiving or support workers). It follows volunteers for 3 years and checks how well the program works for them and their community.
This study looks at how viruses change the environment around tumors, especially in cancers of the throat, lung, lymph nodes, and anal canal. It aims to understand why some treatments work better for virus-related cancers than others.
This study tests different ways to screen for HPV (a virus linked to cervical cancer) in women living with HIV. The goal is to find the best, most practical screening approach to catch cervical problems early.
This study follows people with Kaposi sarcoma to learn more about the disease and how it changes over time. It may help doctors better understand and treat KS in the future.
This study collects and analyzes tumor tissue to learn what drives certain cancers and growths linked to viruses, HIV, and immune system problems. Results may help researchers understand disease causes and point to better future treatments.
