Abstract
Patients infected with human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) are susceptible to neoplasms, including Kaposi's sarcoma, non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, and anal and cervical carcinoma.1-5 Some of these neoplasms have been associated with oncogenic infectious agents such as human herpesvirus 8 (HHV-8), Epstein–Barr virus (EBV), human T-cell leukemia–lymphoma virus type I (also known as human T-cell lymphotropic virus type I; HTLV-I), and the human papillomavirus (HPV).1-5 Presumably, the immunosuppression caused by HIV-1 allows for the expansion of virally transformed cells and the development of cancer.Keywords
