The viruses that are most likely to cause cancer in people with HIV are:

  • Kaposi sarcoma-associated herpesvirus (KSHV), also known as human herpesvirus 8 (HHV-8), which causes Kaposi sarcoma and some subtypes of lymphoma
  • Epstein-Barr virus (EBV), which causes some subtypes of non-Hodgkin and Hodgkin lymphoma
  • Human papillomaviruses (HPV), high-risk types of which cause cervical cancer, most anal cancers, and oropharyngeal, penile, vaginal, and vulvar cancer
  • Hepatitis B virus (HBV) and hepatitis C virus (HCV), which both cause liver cancer
People w/HIV are 70x more likely to get non-Hodgkin lymphoma, & women are 5x more likely to get cervical cancer.
