Cancer Death Rates Associated With Human Immunodeficiency Virus Infection in the United States

Abstract
Studies (1ߝ8) of the effect of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection on cancer incidence rates have all shown that rates of Kaposi's sarcoma (KS) and non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL) are greatly increased among persons infected with HIV but have had conflicting results concerning other cancers. Analysis of death rates offers another way to investigate the spectrum of cancers associated with HIV infection.
