Patients with HIV infection are at an increased risk of a number of malignancies, including Kaposi's sarcoma (KS) and certain B-cell lymphomas. Most of these tumors are caused by oncogenic DNA viruses, including KS-associated herpesvirus and Epstein–Barr virus. HIV contributes to the development of these tumors through several mechanisms, including immunodeficiency, immunodysregulation, and the effects of HIV proteins such as Tat. The development of highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART…
