How aids-related cancers develop and their risk factors
Part of Blood & lymphatic, Cancer, Digestive system, Immune system & allergy, Infections, Mouth & dental, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study follows people with HIV to understand why some develop certain cancers (like Kaposi sarcoma, lymphoma, or cervical cancer) and to identify risk factors. It may help improve monitoring and prevention for those at higher risk.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 or older and have HIV.
- You have a confirmed HIV diagnosis (through a blood test).
- You have been seen at a participating hospital with medical records available.
- For the cancer group: you have been diagnosed with one of these cancers: Kaposi sarcoma, lymphoma, cervical, anal, oral, colorectal, or lung cancer.
- For the comparison group: you have HIV but have never had one of these cancers.
- You are willing to allow researchers to review your medical records and possibly collect samples.

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 tumor samples from people with certain cancers to compare those caused by viruses (like HPV, HIV, or EBV) with those not caused by viruses. The goal is to understand why some tumors respond differently to treatments, which may help improve future treatment approaches.
This study looks at ways to improve cervical cancer screening and follow-up for women with HIV. If you are a woman with HIV aged 25 or older, this research may help understand how to make screening easier and more available.
This study compares different ways to screen for cervical cancer in women living with HIV. It aims to find the most effective and practical screening approach for this group.
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.
